Two thumbs up from me! <br /><br />I'd never heard of this technique, and lithophane is a new word for me (I love new words!) but I read it out to my friend who is staying with me and as I was describing it she finished the sentence '.... and they have pictures in the bottom when you hold them up to the light'! It turns out her father had a set! She tells me, by the way, that there was more than one picture in the bottom of the cups in her father's set, so yours may not be a mixed set after all.<br /><br />Enjoyable post - on behalf of the team, thanks for taking part in ABC Wednesday this week! :)jayhttp://www.thedeppeffect.com/3687/abc-wednesday-with-the-greyhounds-the-letter-l/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060029060849550094.post-20604511588137932322010-04-08T00:11:24.930+01:002010-04-08T00:11:24.930+01:00Beautiful photos of these charming pieces.
