THIS AUCTION IS FOR A   SET OF   4     WEST  GERMAN  GLASS   INTAGLIO STONES   MADE IN THE 1960'S   

ALL OF MY INTAGLIOS HAVE BEEN IN THE FAMILY SINCE THE DAY THEY WERE BROUGHT IN FROM WEST GERMANY OVER  50 YEARS AGO...  

ALL IN THE ORIGINAL COTTON  AND  BOXES....  

THESE  GLASS INTAGLIOS   ARE  OF  4 CROSSES  HAVING BOTH   GOLD  AND SILVER   ON A BACKGROUND OF  WHITE   .............. 18 x 13mm  IN SIZE  ............

GLASS INTAGLIO STONES WERE MADE BY POURING THE GLASS INTO  A REVERSE  OPEN MOLD  CAVITIES [TOP OF STONE IS FACE DOWN],    THEN USING THE METAL  DYE OF THE DESIGN   YOU WISHED TO CREATE ,    WAS PRESSED   INTO THE GLASS AND ALLOWED TO COOL..    ONCE COOLED,    THE PAINTS WERE CHOSEN AND   APPLIED,  ALL ARE HAND PAINTED....    BECAUSE MANY OF THE DESIGNS WERE DONE IN METALICS ,   IT WAS NECESSARY TO SEAL THE BACKS .. AND SO THE ENTIRE BACKS WERE PAINTED TO SEAL THE DESIGNS IN AND PROTECT THE METALLIC PAINTS FROM OXIDATION ....    I KNOW THIS IS A RATHER SIMPLISTIC EXPLANATION,   BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO WRITE A  NOVEL !!

 IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS,   JUST ASK...

I THINK THIS WOULD MAKE A WONDERFUL  FOCAL, 

PERHAPS  WRAPPED IN A DELICATE BRASS FILIGREE.......OUTSTANDING !
