New for 2025 ! Artistic Brilliance in a Sleek, Stand-Alone Design: Brass Interchangeable Kaleidoscope by Karl Schilling

Experience a captivating blend of fine craftsmanship and hands-on creativity with the Brass Interchangeable Kaleidoscope—an exclusive design created by celebrated American kaleidoscope artist Karl Schilling. This individually crafted brass scope features one removable, fillable dry cell, giving you the freedom to personalize your viewing experience without the added base or extra cells found in the premium version.

Expertly fashioned from acid-etched, lacquer-sealed brass, this piece feels substantial in hand and is visually striking from every angle. The included fillable glass chamber is easy to open—simply locate the end marked with the arrow, twist in the direction it indicates, and remove the brass cap. Fill the glass vial with items from your own life—tiny keepsakes, colorful beads, lampworked glass, or other treasures—and watch them come alive as light moves through the chamber.

To get you started, this cell already includes a small assortment of lampworked glass bits, beads, and curated found objects, offering beautiful imagery right out of the box. With its precision 3-mirror system, this kaleidoscope displays enchanting “infinity star” patterns that shift with every rotation.

Whether displayed as a fine art object or enjoyed for its interactive visual magic, this brass kaleidoscope delivers a uniquely personal and endlessly engaging experience.
