Hello

John is right about the clichy style rose cane. Also, the yellow flowers are daffodils which are rare. They are listed in the whitefriars literature as 'special daffodil canes'. I have only seen them once before and that was in a miniature weight. What size is your weight.

Well done on an excellent acquisition.

Thanks,

Richard

Hi Allan

The Whitefriars Paperweights Collectors Guide (by Brian Slingsby and Judy Taylor) shows a good selection of trial pieces, and I recall Brian Slingsby - who was Techical Director at Whitefriars - saying during a talk to the PCC that there were usually a variety of trial pieces produced each year, from which the next year's production designs were chosen.  Perhaps this is such a trial piece.
