Def think its just molded plastic at this point. But for the record, what would you call this now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I know before buying these at thrift shops. The weight shouldve been a giveaway + it wasn't cold to touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillweaver hillbelli Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Don't feel bad. I bought 4 De Grazia "paintings" at an estate sale(last day 50% off) for 80$ The frames were very ornate and there were many brushstrokes visible, so I thought what the hell... Got them home and realized the canvas was paper and the brushstrokes just shellac over a print https://images.app.goo.gl/9uQcAwV78e4DzCRx8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_day Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Those marks on the bottom are usually an indicator that the item is cast. Next time you have doubts, use as hot pin or needle instead of an open flame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
