This quality Antique Quizzing glass features a magnifying glass set in Rolled Gold dating to the early 19th century.

The quizzing glass generally dangled at the end of a guard chain worn around the neck and was held up to the eye to “quiz” (stare, glance, look at quizzically) people and objects. The wearer would sometimes glare at a person through his or her quizzing glass as a manner of set-down or mockery.

This wonderful piece of history would make a great pendant or the perfect addition to any collection.
