White Bird -- Glass or Ceramic?

(1/3) > >>

TxSilver:
I recently bought this bird on eBay. It arrived today. It looked like unusual pasta glass, but it sounds like ceramic when I thump it. So is it ceramic that looks like glass? Or is it glass that sounds like ceramic? This one has me puzzled.

Lustrousstone:
We may have to report you for cruelty to birds.  ;D  I would say glass on this occasion. The joins would be filled with glaze if it was ceramic.

TxSilver:
This is one of those pieces that puts the senses at odds. I remember the last puzzling piece I had turned out to be blanc de chine. Still another that felt like a ceramic coffee mug turned out to be contemporary North American glass. These puzzling pieces make me feel really dumb. :spls:

rosieposie:
Anita!!  Don't thump it, just think yourself lucky that I didn't see it first! How did I miss it??!! :cry:

TxSilver:
Ah, but rosieposie, what is it?
