82. Whitefriars-type cone-shaped
concentric millefiori inkwell with a concentric arrangement
of cog canes, in pink, white, lime and cobalt blue, in the base.
A matching lime cog has been flattened to create a distinctive
swirl design in the stopper. "From the same glasshouse as
the previous example with a good swirl stopper. This type of
shape is not as common as the bulbous-shaped inkwells. The bases
show a good amount of wear and may be from an earlier period
than the Arculus, Richardson and Walsh-Walsh pieces."—Old

and white, around a central fake 1848 date cane. The matching
