Here are some glass rocking horse eyes; clear 'antique' ones on the left (one pair with the back painted) and amber glass ones on the right.And a shot of Headless - must find him a name - with eyes temporarily attached with blu-tac.
It's astonishing what a difference eyes make. The horse can see where he's going, for one thing.

He's beautiful.
Now, is the blu-tacked eye antique?
Yes...and no.
It's a new eye, but antique style, clear glass with a painted back.
From the broken, scratched original eyes I've replaced on other horses, there's little difference. Old ones are maybe a tad less domed than new ones, but given that they are made by hand, there has probably always been some variation.
