Sold separately...each one will vary a little.

Fabulous and Super 3-D...Look like they are going to bust out any minute!

Although I see the term "Essex Crystal" thrown all around the internet, I am not going to claim that they are true Essex Crystals. I just don't have the expertise, but they have similar qualities so will call them "Essex Crystal Type".

"Essex crystal pieces are formed from a rock crystal cabochon (polished domes of rock crystal with a flat base), an image or motif is then reverse carved into the flat base, and then painted, to give them impression of a three dimensional object or image encapsulated in the cabochon when viewed from above."

1/2".

Late 1800's to early 1900's.

Great condition.
