Very interesting piece. I would be inclined to say very early Silesian and maybe a transitional piece. The outside canes with the compound style and translucent colors are constructed closer to the Josephinenhutte style than the normal circa 1900 Silesian canes, and the latticinio mushroom tuft is much better formed than ususal. Well worth watching and maybe taking a shot at.
