<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 696959, member: 5833"]French religious (& other subjects) reliefs are so confusing, because they get called by sellers so many different names. Some 'dripstone' pieces are souvenirs of grottoes; religious themes would be no surprise there. Would take a good bit of time to make one by this process large enough for a wall plaque. Guessing that some are plaster, others definitely meerschaum. Often under glass, further making it difficult to know. Most people are unaware of dripstone as a possibility. Took me a while to find out. Originally I just knew that some cameos described as lava were something else.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
