Beautifully Crafted Vintage French Apres La Pluie Taleidoscope in Marbled Sleeve ceramic bud vase 22 1/4" x 15 7/8"This is not antique, but it is a very fine quality vintage French taleidoscope a taleidscope is like a kaleidoscope but with an open ended view; rather than holding colorful bits inside, whatever one points it at is transformed into kaleidoscopic pattern. Which is really much more exciting! Brushed steel I believe, brass and glass, with substantial weight, very sturdy and built to last. And housed in a lovely and sturdy and very French feeling lidded
