[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9605134, member: 2844"]The Chinese also carve glass and crystal glass, and they also make glass bottles with loops that aren't carved. But the cloudy appearance that you mentioned is a sign, it is also seen on the base, which would have been clear on a glass bottle. Another more apparent sign is the internal fracturing in one of the elephant heads. Don't worry, EDR, that is a natural occurence in rock crystal.[/QUOTE]
