Alabastro elephant - maker?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Is it possible he's been made by one of the exceptional makers such as Liuligongfan or (is it?) Titot, using their Pate-de-verre technique? The technique has been very refined, often resulting in perfectly clear glass items of stunning beauty.

Right...so maybe pate-de-verre?  Edit:  Just realised Sue's mentioned that.  I'm useless on this thread!  ::))   

chopin-liszt:
You're never useless, anywhere Max.  :P  - can you remember the name(s?) of the other very high quality Chinese maker(s?) doing this sort of thing?

chopin-liszt:
I found this thread which might be of interest...

Thanks for the replies, I did consider that he might be made of something else but he has a bubble near the bottom of one leg and the soles of his feet appear to be fire polished. However he is a very similar design to the Jadite ones so China would seem quite likely (big area :wsh:).

So if I can get this straight there is jadite stone and jadite glass which is pate-de-verre (makes sense to me that he is made of the latter).

I have just spent three walking round the antiques fair (no goodies found), so it's ten minutes "feet up" with the poodles before dinner for me :phew:
