<p>[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 93865, member: 56"]While normally I would not challenge Taupou, but in this instance I think it would be wrong to consider this an error. I used the word "lava" knowing its recent connotation, but lacking another word to use in its stead. I really do think more research is required because, as Taupou said, the look or effect could go back centuries. Things like snuff bottles can have a myriad of very specific terminologies associated with them and a strong aspect of novelty is not to be discounted in their production then or now. I think you need input from a specialist.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
