Foo Dogs
oppo 2 purchase matching chinese foo dogs 18" high..?
They are obv fairly modern..either made of concrete moulds or carved in limestone..asking price=$300 the pair..Q is?..how can u tell the difference between carved limestone and moulded cement (as from garden centre ornaments etc)..both have 'cub' and 'world' under each paw..along with pebble/pearl in the mouth..dont mind shelling out that money for a crafted version..but not prepared to shell out for a cheapo mass-produced mould..thnx!
1) Cement/concrete has a lot more weight to it than limestone.
2) You will be able to see somewhere especially on the bottom of the dogs a mould line where they were cased from cement. Also, between the "ears" and under the paws.
3) Limestone has a completely different feel to it than cement. If you have one of each to touch and pick up you will be able to tell the difference.
4) These days I have learned not to trust labels as most of us are aware of.
5) Hopefully you can tell if the seller is honest or not. Asks lots of questions.
6)Ask first about there return policy and make sure you save your receipt.
