Product Details
'Strings' is a delightful, VERY RARE - COLLECTORS handheld kaleidoscope by American artists Peggy and Steve Kittelson. The body is created with white slumped glass that features delicate "stringers" (thin strands of multicolored glass rods) fused onto it's surface. It has an oil-filled, turning, side lit, black background, object cell containing Peggy's ruffled, twisty, handmade lampwork and dichroic (color shifting) glass pieces in vivid yet soft colors. This 2-mirror, 7-point system creates absolutely gorgeous and flowy "mandala-style" kaleidoscopic imagery. Measures approximately 10.25"L x 2.5"Diameter and includes a wooden resting stand. Titled (Strings), dated (2002), and signed (Peggy & Steve Kittelson) by the artists.
Note: Peggy and Steve made only a very limited number of the experimental 'Strings' kaleidoscope before deciding to discontinue producing the series.
