"Dionysos" is a wonderful handheld kaleidoscope by Charles Karadimos. The scope body is Verrerie de Saint-Just mouth blown glass from France, it has been slumped and sculpted into a cone shape. There is a turning end, end-lit, dry object chamber, filled with hand selected glass, dry filled ampules, and other glittery bits. The object cell background is the same glass used for the body which softens the background of each image. This scope has a tapered 2-mirror system which creates beautiful 9-point images. Measures 9-3/4"T x 2-5/8" in diameter at the object cell end. Signed (CS Karadimos), dated (2023) and numbered (2/6) by the artist.
