[QUOTE="42Skeezix, post: 53040, member: 40"]How are they making these things? Machines? Traditional methods? Traditional methods are pretty labor intensive for these results. Some of the other obviously Chinese examples are a lot more elaborate than this. My wife got some in CVS for two or three bucks apiece. They were really well done though distinctly Asian. Alarmingly they're only a couple/few baby steps away from dead ringer fakes. How hard can it be to put a good fine polish on that base? Eh?:cool:[/QUOTE]
