Product Details
'Hidden Kaleidoscope' is a VINTAGE (year exact unknown) mysteriously sexy handheld scope by American artist Phil Coghill. This sweet kaleidoscope sets into a turned hardwood base that appears to be a decorative wooden jar but as you lift the spire at the top, a kaleidoscope is revealed from inside. This is a 3-mirror, 3-point system with a turning, dry, side lit object cell containing teeny lamp-worked glass pieces and an assorted colorful beads in; genuine coral, stone, sea-glass, metal and acrylic. Removable mini screws hold the cell inside the scope making it easy to remove the top in order to keep your the cell clean and dust free. Adorable little "full-view" kaleidoscopic imagery is created within this little wooden kaleidoscope. Piece measures approximately 6.25"T x 3"Diameter, and the scope itself is 4.5"L x 1.25"Diameter at the viewing end. Signed (P. Coghill) by the artist, on the underside of the base.
