Thank you for the information and the link JayBee...This is why I love this site, there's so many people with great knowledge on topics. Do you...
An interesting observation. I'm inclined to believe (after looking at the previous comments) that it might be damage rather than intentional. I'm...
Bakers, good question, that's just the reflection, the tone/color throughout the inside of both items is uniform. I took a very deep scrape on...
