Beetles glass tray
$50.00Price
Displaying nine jewel-like specimens, this early 20th century entomology plate presents a selection of large and iridescent members of the beetle family. A borer, longhorn, blister, and stag beetle are all represented, along with the wonderfully (and aptly) named Golden Tortoise. Perfect for the coleopterologist in your life.In the potichomania process, the glass acts as both a foundation and protective finish, saving the step of varnishing. The original intent was to recreate Greek and Etruscan vases by simulating rare and expensive Sevrés porcelain.
