St Louis - Concentric

Mod St Louis Concentric (ref 47)

Titled "Rondo", this 1995 concentric millefiori weight has no less than twelve rows of canes - but only ten rows are visible in the photo!

Each row shows an uneven setting, but nevertheless the overall effect is of a solid, interlocking strength. This appearance is heightened by the use dark reds and greens as the predominant hues.

Note how the third and fourth rows and the seventh and eighth rows repeat a particular design. The first of each pair has alternately different canes and the second uses a two+one setting. This concept stops the weight from being "just" a series of concentric rings.
