Hand Made English Glass Eyes - Size 4mm to 18mm - for Teddy Bears and Rag Dolls - Pair

We have chosen English, hand-made, coloured glass, Teddy Bear and Rag Doll Eyes with needle shape loop.

They are of outstanding quality and the family run business has been creating pieces that are a delight to work with for four generations, ever since William Hand was accepted into the Flint Glass Makers Society, in Stourbridge in the West Midlands on the 18th September 1819.

Hand Glass craft have developed their own style of loop for their eyes. An improvement on the clumsy, pig tail loop of the past.
These loops are made from stainless steel.

Loops are of round wire that has been flattened to enable the loop to squeeze together once the securing thread has been attached. This makes as small as possible a profile, ensuring no damage to the weave when the eye is pulled into the bear or doll head.

The end of the loop onto which the eye is attached is ball shaped. This makes the glass section of the eye very secure on the loop and under normal use the loop will not pull out of the eye.

Please remember, small parts can be a choking hazard. These eyes are are not suitable for use on Dolls or Bears that will be played with by small children.Please check out our free face template downloads which can be used to paint or embroider eyes and a mouth.
