Antique Mother Of Pearl Tatting Shuttle

English * Circa 1880

This little antique mother of pearl tatting shuttle is held together with brass rivets. It measures 2 5/8" long by 3/4" wide and the pearl is very luminous. The condition is excellent with no chips, cracks or other damage. The points are intact and touching and it's tight with no wobble. It was bought in England so I'm assuming it's English.
