Meissen Or Delft Magnifying Glasses - Set Of 2
Item History & Price
The larger one features a beautiful handle done in porcelain in a style reminiscent of the Meissen Blue Onion. It has an etched silver tone frame holding the magnifying glass that has filigree work at the bottom. The magnifier is very clear and easy to use. The glass magnifies up to 10 X so this really makes small print easily readable! It measures 4"... tall and 1 & 1/2" at its widest. The handle portion is @ 2 & 1/2" long. This is a nice sized piece because you can slip it in your purse or even a pocket for carrying to restaurants to read menus, etc. It is built very sturdily and is an elegant collectible you should have for a long time. It comes beautifully gift boxed and is perfect for the gift giving season ahead!
The smaller matching one is about half the size and has a single mount at the base of the lens. The glass is rounded all around making it easy to use. It has a matching box and appears to be from the same maker.
