Description:

The new design with a butterfly on the side🦋
The name derives from the clear window on the front of the pendant, which magnifies the intricate and vibrant pattern on the back creating a kaleidoscope-like effect
A masterpiece of intricacy, that took weeks of painstaking effort blowing, carving, and especially masking/plating the surface of the pendant
The silver-plating technique used is from a traditional Japanese art style called "Makie（蒔絵）" originated from Ishikawa Prefecture
One of the most intricate examples of carved patterns on a borosilicate glass, if not the most
