Earlier ones for the most part had duller colors, usually were bigger and usually had one faceted pontil and one torched or unfinished. The torched ones usually left a pig tail, some were melted to oblivion.
Agree, as long as there's no gaps between the ribbons revealing the interior then it's a Josephs coat. Try putting it in a glass of water to get a better look
Yes, slightly shrunken to, nice marble. Yes, German made English style, two unfinished pontils and the brighter colors help date it to the late Victorian era i.e. 1870-1910 or there abouts.
