Ummmm...
there is jade the stone, but in the glass term "Jadite", it really just means an opaque green colour - like your elephant, but Jadite mostly refers to this same colour in much older and several different makes of glass - often coloured using uranium.
It does not mean that Jadite is normally made using this pate-de-verre or pate-de-crystal technique.
It's just following the suggestion that your elephant could be from the Far East, that if it were, then this pate-de- verre technique is likely to have been used to achieve this standard of moulding.
However, I'm not positive your wee nellie is quite up to the standard of the pieces shown on the sites we've put here.
:ha: Clear?
