Here's a first for me, I've not seen one quite like it before. The skirt is primarily a light steel blue and fades to light lavender purple as it moves up toward the wire ridge and into the dome. Back lighting is a must to view the tonal variances. This unusual piece would greatly standout in any beehive lineup. (Rear letter "G" under Petticoat). Three very minor pecks puts it at vnm or better. Could be a $500 piece to a specialist, but let's price it to sell at $250, plus actual shipping and optional insurance. I accept checks and no-fee PayPal.
