Vintage White Magnolia Kaleidoscope – Limited Edition by Steve and Peggy Kittelson | Peggy's Garden Flower Series

A Rare Collector's Kaleidoscope – Original Late 1980s Flower Series

The White Magnolia by Steve and Peggy Kittelson is an exceptional vintage kaleidoscope and a rare opportunity for serious collectors to acquire an original piece from the celebrated Peggy's Garden Flower Series.

In my 44 years of specializing in kaleidoscopes, I have rarely seen these original large-format flower series kaleidoscopes become available for sale.

An Extraordinary Collector Opportunity – Five Different Peggy's Garden Kaleidoscopes Available

As of November 13, 2026, I am pleased to offer five different original Peggy's Garden kaleidoscopes from the personal collection of Teddy Reddy, a California kaleidoscope gallery owner who was active in the kaleidoscope community throughout the 1980s and 1990s.

These are five distinct kaleidoscope designs, each individually handmade and signed by Steve and Peggy Kittelson. Each is being offered separately, with its own individual description and selling price.

This listing is specifically for the White Magnolia model.

I recently received these five exceptional kaleidoscopes, and each has been carefully inspected and gone over by artist Steve Kittelson. Any necessary servicing to the oil-filled object cells has been completed, including cleaning and replacement work where needed. They are now ready for another 20 to 30 years of enjoyment.

A Personal Note from Karl Schilling

After 44 years of designing, making, collecting, and specializing in kaleidoscopes, I have developed a real appreciation for the artists and the history behind these remarkable optical instruments.

The original Peggy's Garden Flower Series has always been one of my favorites. The combination of Peggy's lampworked glass artistry, Steve's craftsmanship, and the beautiful kiln-slumped glass exteriors makes these pieces particularly special.

Having five different original Peggy's Garden kaleidoscopes from Teddy Reddy's personal collection become available at one time is an unusual opportunity.

Each of the five kaleidoscopes is being sold individually. This listing is for the White Magnolia, and the other four designs are offered separately.

Updated Construction Specifications

  • Object Cell: Oil-filled chamber featuring hand-lampworked glass floral elements.

  • Cell Construction: Distinctive metal cage design holding the oil-filled object cell.

  • Exterior: Hand-laid and hand-slumped glass.

  • Glass Firing Temperature: Approximately 1,200°F.

 

 

Once these original examples are sold, additional pieces from this historic series may be extremely difficult to find.

Discover the beauty of the original Peggy's Garden White Magnolia and bring home a special piece of kaleidoscope history.
