We hereby name this cut "Satin Moon with Lollypops" This is a 400/5D 8" Salad Plate - listed in the book with Dots Cut. This one has been embellished slightly. Outside edge of plate and beads are frosted.

Sometimes, buying a piece of Candlewick with a company logo, pays off. The bank building on the ashtray below is the new home of the Imperial Museum. Gives new significance to an old piece. |
