<p>[QUOTE="ValerieK, post: 2966739, member: 7360"]This came with a collection of mainly blue and white vintage ceramic egg cups, it definitely didn't fit in! When I posted it on an egg collectors' forum I was told by another member that it was bone, and indeed I hope it is, I would much rather that than ivory. If it was ivory I couldn't sell it, but I also wouldn't want to keep it, I agree with the ban on ivory objects, because some trade is still carrying on disguised as antiques. Is it also your opinion that it is bone? And does anyone have an idea of the date? Is it Chinese? The other forum member had a very similar one herself, but that is the only other one I have seen pictured. I have done repeated searches for bone or ivory carved egg cups and come up with nothing at all like it, which surprised me.[ATTACH=full]288208[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]288209[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
