Hi, Muggle (Great Name!)

I bought one of these at Gump's in San Francisco almost 20 years ago. They
usually are jade or other semi-precios stones. Back then, a tiny one was
around $50, and there were much larger and more complex trees available.

Regards,

Bart

Subject: [IBC] bonsai artificial tree?


My grandmother came back to the U.S. and had in her treasures a little
bonsai
tree, with flowers, leaves, and fruit? of glass (looks like jade, but
Im pretty sure its glass). The tree is embedded in ornamental rock
and in a ceramic 6 sided pot. It is a single trunk and is wind swept
against a wind like at the coast.
what style of art is this?
I dont dare move the branches as its pretty old. It would be fun to
shape one,
and Id like to find out what art this is, and purchase a newer one.
