The schrehers(although tuff to see) do not run in a perfect circle around center, as if they were purposely placed. Cutting wasn’t finished as to be part of the display.[ATTACH=full]484800[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>also, in the next two images observe the top of the flower tips, ivory is not transparent or translucent.</p><p><br /></p><p>It could just be the photo but the ear looks translucent in this shot.[ATTACH=full]484801[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]484802[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Additionally, as mentioned the marks on the bottom appear a bit sloppy for ivory done so beautiful. Given the time it would take to make, I would expect a proud mark. Not one that looks rush due to volume.</p><p><br /></p><p>It’s always hard to identify ivory through photos, and I can be way off of my observations. Holding it and seeing all its flaws and perfections has no substitute.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
