[QUOTE="Simona Buhus, post: 9560358, member: 17467"]Thank you so much, below are few photos. When light passes through the black base material there is shining bright red protruding from the sides, but also a small air bubble in the glass that has a visible lighter red where the material is thinner. When the photo is taken from one side, it’s clear that the white side was glued to the base. The light also shows shades of dark Red especially where the base ends. I tend to think the base is made of a material that has glass properties as it is heavy, and feels like glass. What is your opinion? How about the white carving, is it carved or moulded ? Any thoughts on the material that was used? Finally, an approximate age for this lovely lady? Thank you. Kind regards, Simona [ATTACH=full]457275[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]457276[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]457277[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]457278[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]457279[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
