A Chinese Genuine Ivory Vase on Wooden Stand  
 
 A beautiful hand carved elephant ivory Vase depicting a typical Chinese scene of two dragons (with black eyes!) interspersed with delicate scrolls and flowers. The neck of the vase is carved with a delicate leaf design. The vase is attached with a pin to the black wooden base. The vase and stand is in immaculate condition. Using the jewellers loupe, I detected a hairline crack at the base of the vase due to one of the two pins attaching the vase to the stand (please see below). The vase fits loosely into the pin due to the hairline crack. At this area the vase can be slightly lifted from the base (please see below). This is a genuine piece of ivory identified by the little streaks typical of genuine ivory. This item was inspected using a jewellers loupe and the Schreger diamond patterns identifies this item as genuine ivory. The diamond pattern can be clearly seen through the jewellers loupe. Please refer to the last picture  
 
"Genuine Ivory is identified by Schreger Lines — a unique pattern of crosshatched diamond shapes that some collectors refer to as “stacked chevrons.” If you see Schreger Lines, this is a practically surefire indication of true ivory from either an elephant or a mastodon (i.e., a prehistoric mammoth). Bone does not have this pattern, nor does any other kind of tooth or tusk from animals either alive or extinct." Copied from the Internet
