    Hard to tell what's it's made from though, looks more like pottery

    Hold it close to your face, jade/stone would be cold cold

    Your welcome mate, it's only my gut reaction, but there is something about it

    A picture of the base wouldn't hurt

    Not to say anything about negative Komo's or Charlie's input, but you would probably get more members to see this cute thing if a mod would move this thread to a more appropriate forum than Introductions.
