Topic: Unusual Vasart / Monart piece

[tropdevin]

The seller of this item calls it a pin dish, but it does not look like the usual style of Vasart pin dish.  It looks more like a cane set-up that was never finished as a dish or weight.  Has anyone seen similar pieces?

Yes a couple of weeks back there was a Whitefriars one on ebay it had been set up but not had the dome put on .

But this one does look finished, maybe a trial piece?

I have seen and handled this item. I don't think its an unfinished "button". It has the actual shape of a dish, and the canes seemed correct for vasart in my humble opinion. Its certainly unusual. By the way its not mine!
