Very charming vintage 1950's West German glass cabochon featuring the Fairy Tale character "Little Boy Blue".
This is a domed clear glass stone with a reverse intaglio scene carved into the flat bottom.
Enhanced with three hand painted colors.
This is a very sweet little stone with nice detail, including very subtly etched lines defining the haystack.
13mm in diameter.
Little Boy Blue,
Come blow your horn,
The sheep's in the meadow,
The cow's in the corn;
Where is that boy
Who looks after the sheep?
Under the haystack
Fast asleep.
Will you wake him ?
Oh no, not I.
For if I do,
he's sure to cry !
