A miniature vase owned by the Medici family, on display at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States.
The vase itself is agate, carved between 1 and 100 AD in Italy by an unknown artisan.
The base and handles are emeralds, enamel, gold, and rubies, and were added by an unknown artisan between 1550 and 1589 for the Medici family.
Replacement and conservation work was done in the late 1700s.
The vase was gifted to the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence, Italy, in 1743 by the last Medici heir.
this might look for real, but it is actually a scale model, i.e. miniature. now i understand how we got fooled at the movies pre-CG-era.
Unfinished miniature lace doily, worked on 00000000 needles in 140/2 Honiton thread. For the uninitiated, the thread is about 1/3 the thickness of regular sewing thread. Not sure I'll ever finish this!
Prior to the invention of photography in 1839, the only way to have your likeness made was to hire an artist to paint your portrait. One of the most economical and popular forms was a very small portrait called a miniature. It was often painted with watercolor on a small piece of ivory or some other stable medium.
This brass frame originally had six jewels (most likely cut glass) mounted around the perimeter.
My guess is that this miniature dates to sometime in the early 1800s, although it could possibly be a bit older.

From the miniature exhibit at the Chicago Art Institute. They won't let you use flash and the room is incredibly dark. The reflections aren't too bad, but the colour is less than desirable.
