<p>[QUOTE="KSW, post: 9559577, member: 8708"]So I thought this was a celluloid vanity type thingy but looking at the base it just dawned on me that those lines aren’t straight and it’s Iv0ry….<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie45" alt=":facepalm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Yes, I know, slow as a racehorse on its holidays <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Sadly damaged in places, missing a top and some of the base but I can’t quite believe how fine the workmanship is - those lines <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie56" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Is there a name for this type of work? Presumably Chinese? </p><p>The big question is how do I clean it? It is filthy and laughing in the face of my cotton bud and warm water. I don’t know if the obvious glue is original and if it will just disintegrate into pieces if I get it wet? I’d like to use dish soap and a baby toothbrush but that would require rinsing thoroughly afterwards. </p><p>Any thoughts please <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]457095[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]457096[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]457097[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]457098[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]457099[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]457100[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]457101[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]457102[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]457103[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]457104[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
