Is this by Paul Ysart?
« on: July 15, 2015, 01:04:37 PM »
Hi everyone,

I bought this off Ebay recently. IMHO, it is by Paul Ysart (but I may be wrong). I have now matched a few canes with ones in known Paul Ysart weights but I do not trust myself (I am not terribly good at this...). Also if it is PY, could anyone throw some light on the period of manufacture?

Many thanks.

Yes, it is a Paul Ysart weight.

Could be either Caithness or Harland period. I think the brighter colour canes, especially the green, indicate it is not earlier - but - ???

Hi Kevin,

Many thanks for the quick ID. It did scream PY at me when I first saw it.

And Caithness or Harland may explain my subsequent hesitation. I have seen too few millefiori weights of these periods to compare and ID comfortably.

Thanks again.
