<p>[QUOTE="ValerieK, post: 2969519, member: 7360"]Thanks for this! The other egg cup collector was rather disappointed that hers had been identified as bone, I think I will share this link with her, and maybe she might get it looked at again by another expert. I was really hoping mine was bone, so worth its decorative value, if it is ivory it was probably once quite expensive but now morally dubious and unsaleable, even if genuinely antique. Does anyone have any ideas what I could do with it? Perhaps donate it to a museum somewhere?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
