<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 348506, member: 5833"]Thanks so much for this. Now & then I encounter cameos described by sellers as meerschaum, but so far have not seen one I think actually is. Some are 'lava'; some are 'dripstone', made in a mold using water that is heavily laden with calcium carbonate. Then there are the plaques, mainly religious subjects & seemingly all from France, that are described variously as meerschaum, pipe clay or plaster. If you have any insight into these, please share. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie100" alt=":writer:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
