Chinese Jade And Turquoise Magnifying Glass
Isn't this just beautiful? I never saw another magnifying glass quite like it! From a local shop.
From the internet:
Metalwork Magnifying Glass with Jade Handle, China, the round glass framed with a metalwork decorated with floral scroll filigree and jeweled with turquoise-colored glass beads, the repousse metal-clad jade handle, spire-shape, translucent pale celadon stone with white inclusion, overall ht. 6 5/8, jade ht. 3 5/8 in.
Oh that's a beautiful magnifying glass with the jade handle & fancy turquoise beads, very elegant - perhaps a bit too feminine for Sherlock (I love it when he inspects the ground with & without the glass, he's so cool!)
Newfld,
Thank you! Don't think I will put it in the Sherlock room. I just saw one that sold a few years back for almost $400.00!!!
I was collecting magnifyers for a while, this one is a treasure. Right now I am nuts about the ones with 12 led's. Killer detail on yours !~
PhilDMorris,
It is so beautiful that I couldn't resist. Thank you!
Gorgeous! Take that with you to read the small print on a car dealer's documents!
Alfie,
Yes, I can be shocked in style :)
