<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 3090667, member: 5833"]I have seen the material variously described as plaster, meerschaum or pipe clay. My guess is that pipe clay is another name for meerschaum. Yours looks old enough to be meerschaum, not a plaster copy. Meerschaum is much lighter in weight than plaster, which may give you a clue about the nature of this one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
