[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 4232683, member: 5833"]I'm not certain it's glass, but I see things that argue that way. In this pic I see something that could easily have been made in a mold. [IMG]https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/side-jpg.336177/[/IMG] It would be nice to have a pic taken from the other edge so we could see if the flower petals are undercut at all. If the back were simply unpolished, I would expect it to look smooth but dull, perhaps with striations from grinding. As it looks to me in the photo, the back is shiny even though the surface is irregular. The back looks to me like it was once liquid. There's something about the way the color is distributed that seems off to me, like the green & white were stirred together; strictly a gut feeling.[/QUOTE]
