<p>[QUOTE="lpan9, post: 494676, member: 3788"]The bottom grains of the material look like real ivory, see pictures at <a href="https://www.realorrepro.com/article/Ivory-genuine-fake--confusing" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.realorrepro.com/article/Ivory-genuine-fake--confusing" rel="nofollow">https://www.realorrepro.com/article/Ivory-genuine-fake--confusing</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, the red seal on the bottom contains 2 simplified Chinese characters which means "passed quality assurance inspection". Simplified Chinese characters obviously tell it is in late 20th century, such as 1970s. If it is real ivory, never trade it.
