unsure if this is a real ysart flower bouquet weight as yes the stems at bottom are untidy but ive seen a few the same also no signature cane  which i know a lot of the fakes have the fake signature canes , the flower heads and leaves are same as a few ive seen with real signature canes  ,

Very good Paul Ysart Bouquet with Tied Ribbon. All features point to the 1930s period.

A bit of apparent untidiness is known in some PY designs - especially with the flower bouquets. Not an easy design to make as stems and flowerheads can slip in the making.

A main point about this unsigned one being a genuine PY example is the well formed blue ground - which has a few "holes" in its surface. Also, the base finish is right for PY work.
