    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    As I recall, Dragon's Breath is *very* desirable. Do you think she should include that term in the listing? And price accordingly if it's fixed price? (The answer to the second question is tricky, not knowing if it's Dragon's Breath or not.)

    As long as it's listed as "Foiled dragon's breath" it's OK to use the term. It's not the same as the valuable stuff, but if it has the blue "veiling" the term applies. The foiled DB doesn't sell for sky high prices.

    Thank you again, Evelyb - and Fig, for bringing this up!

    As mentioned, I don't know a thing about this stuff, so I did a bit of searching around online.

    Would "Foiled dragon's breath" be the same thing as "faux opal [glass] with blue 'veiling'" (which is how I saw something similar described)?

    Yep - same stuff.

    The original dragon's breath was either a yellow (pre-WWII) or red (circa 1900-1955 or close enough) glass with a blue veil in it. I've heard tell of a green version too but never seen any.
