God, I know! I've gotten some fantastic artisan stuff from China that I know they don't make nearly enough money on, but I feel I'm sort of helping by at least buying the stuff. They've got some really talented people over there.

yes, real netsuke is ivory, old, exquisite and expensive as hell. those were true artists. they are tiny and perfectly rendered.

Hell yeah, quite awhile ago, I bought 3 of them...They are gorgeous & I'm certain I would NEVER get a deal on turquoise here in the states like I did from Asia.

Ivory isn't sold anymore unless they can verify it's before a given time period when it was outlawed, but they still make some awesome stuff from bone.

I'm gonna be some old lady with dusty tchotchkes littering my apartment.

You didn't actually answer my question... are THOSE ivory?

You are the only other person beside me who knows how to spell that correctly!

Thanks for not spelling CHACHKIE and instead tchotchkes.

I had to google it but I refuse to spell things phonetically... like some retard spelled "Eyeful Tower" for god's sake. Oh yeah, I just saw someone actually title a thread "Haysian" instead of Haitian. Dear god.

I had to look it up because I've never heard it before. At least, I don't think I have.

This is probably the only forum that ever makes me look up anything.

Strangely, I have a smattering of Yiddish in my dialect which includes a rudimentary idea of spelling... gimme a few years and I'll probably have some old Polish Jewess' accent as well. Oy vey.

I probably should be more familiar with yiddish expressions, having spent a significant amount of time growing up in the NJC/NYC area.
