<p>[QUOTE="Chinoiserie, post: 9587284, member: 79460"]I grabbed this today and got quite excited, then it dawned on me that it could be a cast of an original. Not sure how to tell. The material can be scratched with metal but I guess any originals could be soapstone and therefore also softer than metal. The base is also rough in contrast to a smooth one I found on eBay. What do you reckon?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]463514[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]463515[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]463516[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
