Glass Rosette

[artyfacts]

Worked a trail overrun with briers. Progress was very slow going but came away with this glass faced rosette. It is 1 1/2 wide with a 1/4 inch thick glass face with a big fancy letter K and a brass back plate. Looks like it had a gold background with a black letter K. Must have been a real special K.

Nice find Arty! I found one very similar in Burlington Co. A few years back, although I think mine had the letter "H". Here is the link:

Those are so interesting! I have yet to uncover one. antique glass domed rosettes adorned the bridles of horses and were very popular, and were often embroidered with initials or family farm name.

Thanks guys, I wonder where the company that manufactured these was located and the year. The font used on the one I found is the same as your rosette Neil.

Been able to dig a couple of those myself. Both of mine have horses in them. There one of my favorite things in my display cases. Dont see them posted very often.

Based on the other finds in the area I found it in I would have to say that these are late 19th century.
