    Bought at antiques fair today in the bargain box. They're cold to the touch and feel gritty when rubbed on teeth which surprised me.

    I have a few bits I have questions about and wasn't sure whether to put them all on one thread or separately? thumbnail_IMG_20220625_170129.jpg thumbnail_IMG_20220625_143124.jpg

    They look like they could be apple coral, although the red on the apple coral I've seen is more orangey red.

    Ooo I did wonder if they were coral but wasn't sure, thank you. They are very bright pink and the photos are not showing that too well.

    Coral and dyed within an inch of its life.

    I also see coral, & most likely 'apple' type.
