I think when the object lies on the table in "two or more pieces" wouldn't have to be pictured.  :-\

  Just for px:   

Broken =  two or more pieces; as in Broken Glass

 :24: :24: :24: ---->  :-\ --->  :'(  --> :cry: -> :thud: .......

Looks like someone went a little overboard with caressing her glass...  :wsh:

P.S. I heard David has got a good strong shoulder to cry on...  >:D

Like in "Walking on Broken Glass" ?   :thup:  Rose, are you going to add your poor bird picture to the gallery  ;D

..... they don't look like "fractures" in my eyes...? (this is word I knew  but still checked it in the dictionary it means something that is broken, right?) That is I don't think they are, but how would I know.  :-[

I see I should have said that I thought "fracture" is something that looks like if it is  "about to be broken" ? Meaning that the crack is through the glass in both surfaces....  (trying to learn some accuracy in English.  :-\ Thanks for helping. I love this thread!

Fracture (noun) means either a crack or a break (New Oxford Dictionary of English). A crack is something that could result in a break.

wasn't really going to drag this one on but..............found my first 200mm example in blue this morning, and yes, it does have these same odd lines down from the top onto the lens area.    It really is most odd that both sizes should have the same type of fault.   Maybe something to do with the fact that this pattern (in both sizes) is produced with unusually thick glass, and it's this that's causing the problem.

Oh Paul... tsk, tsk, tsk!  It is not a 'problem' but, in Nemmie's wise words, an essential part of the bullet vase's make up -- just a slight stray from perfection.   ;D

Hi --
Like in "Walking on Broken Glass" ?   :thup:  Rose, are you going to add your poor bird picture to the gallery  ;D


I guess I could -- as he is without flight now -- but I guess still worthy to know what he *might have been* so that Ducky can have a proper *Headstone*

 :24: :24: :24:

As for the topic of this post --- I took a look at my bullet vase.  I can not see anything, or feel anything with my finger nail either.  So I can not feel any fractures, or anything on my vase.  So might not have any ????????????
