Any comments on this weight? Many of the other weights offered by this seller are Scottish.

Thank you and best regards - Wolf

In my limited knowledge of weights and my own pieces most pwt's from Scotland usually have a base,ground colour,this one doesn't so I'd see what the experts say,Keith.

The canes are not familiar to me but the wobbly edge of the arrangement, shape and finishing look Italian to me.

Murano imho.

The eBay weight has some similarity to a reference example that I have:

I bought it from a friend who was told by the person he bought it from that it was Scottish. It is not Scottish. It's Murano. But actual maker and period is not known.

The central cane of the eBay weight, the "star/cog in outer sleeve" canes, the rather untidy setting of the concentric rings and the long and uneven canes are similar to mine - and to other Murano weights that do not have the more often seen "very coggy" canes.
