Happy Easter to all CW folks!
Scarce subject for this "Essex crystal" reverse painted crystal intaglio!
The egg shaped crystal is carved to the reverse, then painted as a miniature, details first and background last.
They are usually backed with mother of pearl, but not this one.
Depict a bunny picking Easter eggs in a basked.
Head of the pin is 1.7 cm or 5/8".
Length is 8 cm or 3.1/8".
Unmarked high carat gold.
Wow, how did you find it?
And of course Happy Easter to you and everybody else!!! :)
Martika, I found it at an Antique fair many years ago! Was not cheap, but so scarce...
Thank you for your kind comment and love :-)
Thank you Bobby!!
What a beautiful object. I would keep it somewhere where I could see it all the time.
Gillian, thanks!
It lives in my display cabinet with friends:

How cute.
You're most welcome. I think it's time to make an assault on the old gas pump collectors. (I don't mean the people are old, just the gas pumps.)
Loool :-D !
