<p>[QUOTE=&quot;quirkygirl, post: 151054, member: 106&quot;]I wanted to thank you all for looking at the thread and adding your thoughts and comments.&nbsp; Every little bit of information is appreciated because I try to learn a little something from each piece I buy (whether to keep for myself or to pass along to someone else) ... I sure wish I could recall all these little tidbits of info as easily as I once could.</p><p><br /></p><p>For Holly, I took a side view pic. of the piece to illustrate that it is, as pointed out by Cheryl/DragonflyWink, hand cut from thin sheet silver - and is of uniform thickness throughout.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Also took some more close-ups to show that many of the designs appear stamped instead of engraved (or, I think, chased)... and to show how some of the edges look as if they are beveled.&nbsp; The design at the base is certainly odd ... with the wiggling line of dots wandering over a ground of very fine parallel lines.&nbsp; I know this isn&#039;t a fine, elegant piece (the design is almost crude or primitive) ... but it does appear that someone took a good amount of time and effort to create it ... and I like that.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again for all of your input! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]40771[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]40772[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]40773[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]40774[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
