This is a wonderful, vintage glass cabachon charm,hand painted in West Germany. It is areverse carved and painteddouble horse heads. This cabachonis over 50 years old.It is areverse painted intaglio and is a 15mm round glass cabachon.It isin mint condition, very clear paintedhorses and the covering glass is pristine.The charm displays excellent workmanship, the kind not seen anymore. Each one has been individually and tediously hand painted.This is a truly beautiful pendentand is quite a conversation piece when worn. It is something vintage and unusual, and something you don\'t see much of anymore. The horse intaglio is mounted on a vintagesix sidedlocket,and comes with a link for putting on your favorite chain to wear. The locket opens to reveal a place to put a small picture. All of the vintage cabachons are extremely rare, but this type with thetwo horses on a locketis rarely, if ever, seen.

These cabachons were sometimes called intaglios, rosettes, reverse crystals or \"Cabs\". They date back to the 1940\'s and 1950\'s and are considered to be extremely rare and highly collectible. These \"cabs\" or cabachons contain intaglio images or scenes. Each piece was hand painted into a reverse carved image. These amazing pieces of art were first manufactured during the Victorian era. Because they are so tiny and intricate it is difficult to manufacture them today. Current high manufacturing costs make producing these crystals cost prohibitive. As a result, these crystals have become sought after rarities and collectors items.

Anything available now has survived over the years and is not a new item.

Thisis areal collectors item...don\'t it get away. It truly is amazing, and all hand done.

IMPORTANT….

The Post Office now charges $2.54 for postage per a 1 ounce package. Then you need to add in the tracking fee. The cost of my bubble envelope, the cost of wrapping supplies, paper, more bubble wrap, tape, printer ink, etc. really adds up…and it is not free, I have to pay for it. This packaging is necessary to make sure these glass pieces arrive in one piece and undamaged. My wrapping has evolved over the years, as the Post Office pays no attention to a package marked fragile! This does not include any money for my time, or the price of gas to and from the Post Office.

Also, what no one is aware of.../paypal now takes 9% of the shipping fees right off of the top as part of their charges.

I MAKE NO MONEY ON SHIPPING…..IN FACT, I DON’T EVEN BREAK EVEN.

PLEASE BEFORE YOU DOWNGRADE ME ON SHIPPING COSTS BE AWARE OF WHAT POSTAGE NOW REALLY COSTS. Thank you.
