Etched Glass Sailboat Pendant in Display Box

This item is an etched glass pendant, presented within a small, black plastic display box with a hinged, clear plastic lid. The pendant itself is rectangular, made of clear glass, measuring approximately 1.5 cm in width and 2 cm in length, consistent with the provided context. The edges of the glass are faceted, creating a subtle refractive effect. Central to the pendant is an intaglio or etched design of a sailboat. The sailboat motif is rendered in a frosted white appearance against the clear glass background, suggesting a matte or sandblasted finish on the etched areas, contrasting with the polished clear glass. The design depicts a classic single-masted sailboat with two sails, positioned on what appears to be stylized waves or ripples, indicating movement on water. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant scratches on the glass pendant itself, suggesting good preservation. The clarity of the etching is excellent, with fine details discernible within the sailboat design. The quality of the etching indicates a well-executed manufacturing process, likely machine-etched for precision. The top of the pendant features a small, drilled hole through which a jump ring or bail would typically pass to allow it to be worn as a pendant; however, no such hardware is currently attached. The black plastic display case shows some light surface dust and minor wear consistent with storage and handling, but no major damage. The clear plastic lid similarly shows some dust specks and minimal scratching. Given the style and presentation, this item likely dates from the mid-to-late 20th century, possibly as a souvenir or a mass-produced decorative accessory. No discernible maker's marks or signatures are visible on the pendant or the case from the provided image.
