A sphere-shaped converging lens of glass transmits the images for this kaleidoscope, which is then called a teleidoscope or oktascope. Outlines, colours and faces you look are being transformed into abstract patterns which brings joy and also a new perspective on shapes and colours. Definetely a great inspirational tool for artists and designers.
The mirrors inside are top notch, as well as the lenses. Everything is being mounted by hand into a solid brass tube. When picking it up you will notice the quality just by the weight already. The surface however is not sometimes not entirely spotless which makes it all the more authentic.
This kaleidoscope is also available in a golden version with a wooden stand - see below.
Overall Length: 20 cm
Diameter of Tube: 2 cm
This kaleidoscope comes in a nice giftbox along with a small stand.
