A flared, swirling latticinio vase on a paperweight base...with canes from the Ysart Brothers period, Vasart and possibly even from Paul Ysart! Set over an opaque pink ground within an encircling garland, the canes form a close-packed cushion. At some point (probably due to damage around the base of the weight) the lower half was cut with flutes.
However, this created an unsatisfactory height : width ratio...so a new foot was added to make the vase stable.
