<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 3885673, member: 111&quot;]I have nothing to apologize for - and please do not misquote me, what I said was, &quot;<i>There is no engine-turning on this piece (nothing even resembles engine-turning), nor was any decoration done by hand, it is cast.&quot;</i> </p><p><br /></p><p>Your item is nice, but not a work of art, it is well-made, but the the hand-work was done on the the original model, which was most likely done in clay, whether the production technique was lost-wax or sand-casting.&nbsp; It would have been cleaned up and polished before any gilding, plating or painting, but I see no evidence the decorative texturing, or any decorative chasing was applied after casting.&nbsp; You are certainly entitled to believe whatever you like, as am I and everyone else, but you might think about how sure you were of the &#039;engine-turning&#039;, and perhaps educate your mind and your eye before you call me out on my supposed ignorance.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will not waste any more time here - but again, wish you well in any further research...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
