I don't know if we have a member who can tell you about it, but no one is going to try until we have it in an easier to read photo. The artwork...
Is this the writing you mean? [IMG] I see French for Sea salt/ carbonate of potash/ feldspar/ on the ____, x sand with what looks like a...
Not sure what 'this' is that is a better match? I'm burned out, so forgive if it should be obvious. Not being able to get them both at the same...
Having a little nip?
Yes, they are cut ultrasonically, so, while genuinely hardstone, essentially mass produced. I used to have a white Persian cat & have been highly...
Excellent. Found I already had that site bookmarked, think it was in connection with his Charlemagne, but had forgotten him. :)
