Current population ca 2000.</p><p>It is 19th century, but it reflects the skills handed down from the time of the Hansa. Every half sphere is covered with tiny granules.</p><p><br /></p><p>Seller&#039;s pic, I have yet to take my own:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]295326[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The Dutch seller had no idea what it was.
