You said peacock eye and got my immediate attention, but this isn't it. Peacock eye glass was made in Japan in the 60s if memory serves. This is...
No idea, but they're pretty.
Yup - those are blood channels. The slightly sideways holes, that is.
Headed to an estate sale tomorrow morning. If I find one cheap enough, I volunteer as tribute.:D:D:D
Went to a charity thrift today. Everything in the store was 75% off except the jewelry. Found a little perfume bottle in the back with an orange...
