Is this a Strathearn Surface Decorated piece?

Frank:
The rarest being the stuff with chunks of millefiori cane in, usually rather dreary colouring and only a handful are known to have survived... less than two dozen, if I am feeling generous. Paisley Shawl and Cloisonne are the most often found. 2 or 3 lamps are known in Paisley Shawl with one complete Mushroom lamp that changed hands for over 5 thousand pounds 15 years ago. All of the Monart that has sold over two thousand pounds was Paisley Shawl. There are a few other types that are fairly unique and would change hands in those prices ranges, were they ever to be sold.

The largest collection of early Monart was put together by a couple who started buying in the early 1930's and frequently visited the Ysart's in Scotland to obtain pieces. They passed away some time ago but their collection has yet to appear on the market.
