“Baroque” Special Kaleidoscope

“Baroque” Special Kaleidoscope

£338.00

One of a limited edition of 49 in this design which is unique in having twin optical systems. The body is rectangular, around 20cm long, in red/turquoise mix glass with patterned dichroic glass accents. The viewing object is a transverse rotating glass cylinder filled with lampworked glass shapes drifting in silicone oil. The two viewing trains present different forms of image, one an unusual 11-point mandala against a black background, the other, an unbounded image, filling the field of view. In both cases, the image changes slowly as the cylinder is rotated and the contents drift to rest.
