This Listing is for a

MINT(+) 11/16" Antique German Handmade CLAMBROTH/ONIONSKIN

Item# GM1699
Although at first look, this looks like a single color white based CLAMBROTH with, I can't even count how many, orange stripes running from pole to pole; however, further inspection shows that the base glass is actually clear with a white "skin" and that is encircled with the orange stripes which would make it an ONIONSKIN by definition. Now, an even closer look with a bright light and lens, reveals some blank spaces in the white between the orange stripes and allows a view to the core, as in the case of a JOSEPH's COAT.
So, I have described it to the best of my ability, I guess whoever owns it next will have to call it whatever they like. I have certainly never seen one like it.
CONDITION: MINT(+) 9.8 PRISTINE, WET MINT. I cannot find any blemishes of any kind and the pontail marks are as clean as the day they were made.
