<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gatoblanconz, post: 9558735, member: 14927&quot;]Hi I have these 2 miniature oil paintings they are oil on ceramic by the feel of it the way the ceramic plate moves around and makes a sound inside the frame. Also where there is a split in the paper backing you can see the white back of the plate.</p><p>They have the original backing on them.</p><p>What I am uncertain of is what the frames are made of? The frames feel like they are made of plastic.Is that an early form of bakelite?</p><p>You can see where the frame paint is chipped it is brown underneath. Refer to photo with red circle.</p><p>Also the brown wash on the grooves of the frames seems to come off with saliva and rubbing. Is that brown wash original? By that I mean were the frames originally all cream and that is dust built up in all the little grooves or is that an original intentional kind of wash?</p><p>And any idea on the date of these?</p><p>The are 7.9cm square </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]456892[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]456893[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]456894[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]456895[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]456896[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]456897[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]456898[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]456899[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
