<p>[QUOTE="StillSparkly, post: 13150860, member: 114586"]The magic search words are reverse carved intaglio and Essex crystal - that is what the buyers for these actually type. If it is rock crystal rather than glass, say so and show it (rock crystal feels cold to the lip and usually shows small natural inclusions under a loupe). Photograph it lit from the side so the depth of the carving reads, put the animal or subject in the title, and give measurements. And check the frame for a gold stamp before you price anything - a marked 14k frame moves the number a lot.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
