...this blown-glass dolls' eye!
It's hollow and slightly over life-size. The glass is thinner than those lovely old Christmas tree baubles we old girls remember so fondly, and the iris & pupil are hand-laid. Slightly wonkily.
Fortunately its gaze tends to be a little downcast, or I would always be feeling that someone was watching me in the office. Its partner, and the whole of the rest of Fraulein Gretchen's exquisite porcelain face, were smashed many years ago. Only this incredibly delicate eye survived the tragedy.

Brrr, Sarah. I find this seriously spooky....
Excellent! I've always felt a kinship with Faintly Macabre, remember her?
