This is a stained glass parlor scope by award-winning scope maker, Nedra Reed.
This is a parlor scope, which has an attached stand.  These parlor scopes were very popular in Victorian times and have resurged in popularity with interest in kaleidoscope collecting. This scope is made of both a beautiful black iridescent and a white iridescent glass.  Iridescent glass is a highly reflective glass with a rainbow-like sheen.  The scope is about 8 inches high from table to eye piece and about 8 inches from eye piece to the dish which holds the items to be viewed.   It is  decorated with brass wire, glass globs and pieces and decorative solder.
This is a fantastic kaleidoscope because it has really clear and endless images.  You turn the dish, which is on a swivel, and you can put anything you want into it. (well, maybe not an elephant!)  I am including a starter kit which has a golfer, butterfly heart, colored feathers, bead, fused glass and other things. Look for the items in the pictures above- e.g. the first one has the golfer.  (Father's Day??) There is also a video that can be seen on you tube:
