Wonderfully Folky 19th C. Hand-formed Twisted Amber Glass Chain wooden toy Also included are his studyI purchased this from a dealer in New Hampshire I buy from frequently, always interesting things, including lots of folk art. He described this twisted glass chain as 19th century, and I know he knows his glass, so while I don't really, I trust that is true. In any event, I fell in love with it for its folkiness, reminding me very much of a whimsy, and perhaps that's just what it is, a sort of end of day playing around, or perhaps a practice exercise.
