<p>[QUOTE="Ownedbybear, post: 1101942, member: 29"]Hm. Differentiation. This looks as though the edges are slightly worn back, showing the underglaze. If pottery of this kind, any wee chips would show that granular look that faience has, rather than smoother crystalline. It wouldn't feel as cold as either stone or glass and would warm up a bit faster. Carved stone to me would be crisper and you might get veining. Pottery beads slightly lighter for size. </p><p><br /></p><p>Yeah, I wish I could get my paws on that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
