Not your exact design, but the glass scarabs look similar. Would not be surprised to learn the scarabs were Czech in origin as suggested. From...
I have vinegar question. It is a pretty strong acid, @Ownedbybear do you use it diluted, or how? Do you soak the piece? Would there be any...

I had the same concern, but it seems like the lithos were done in a variety of sizes. I took a quick look at Ebay ones that sold (you can filter...
Well, I've opened it but not sure I have additional info. Here it is unframed: [ATTACH] I believe it to be a litho, no dots with...
