This is an unmounted intaglio.
This glass stone looks like it was blown and then engraved on a glass rod which was then broken off. The glass stone would then have been polished down for a mount. This is an unfinished piece and although the glass is a little rougher than on finished seals, the intaglio is crisp (where it is not damaged)
It is made of glass and was designed to be used with hot wax for sealing letters.
I have made an impression of this intgalio using hot wax to show that the intaglio works as intended and also to give a clearer image of the intaglio.
The wax impression comes in a small plastic case and is included with the purchase of this piece
This is an unmounted intaglio and is made from a thick square piece of glass
The top quality intaglio is of a flower and the words “Si Des…Perbo” Alas the intaglio has a significant chip and the words cannot be made out. The intaglio of the rose is lovely and this damage has been reflected in the price
The back of the stone is slightly domed with an area where the base would have been attached to a rod
The intaglio measures 17mm x 15mm x 7mm and is damaged
