A large complex cane, with a ring of hollow pink rod canes around a ring of white stars, a ring of hollow yellow cogs and a central hollow white cog, tops a white cushion pressed with blue ribbons that are festooned in quadrants to create a traditional marbrie pattern. This very rare type of weight was made almost exclusively by Saint Louis and not many are known. The term marbrie is derived from the French word for marble. It was most likely chosen to describe the effect the glass artisans achieved with this design. The festooned marbrie design is believed to have been derived from an Old English decorative practice of displaying what were known as “witch balls”. Witch balls were hollow blown glass balls hung by the superstitious in their doorways to ward off evil spirits. Excellent condition.
