Thank you. I'm hoping Alfredo will visit to confirm.
Thank you Alfredo
Do you find sand cooled bases on much Kralik production ?
Hi Whats a sand cooled base?
One could have a good collection just of Kralik's Mother of Pearl.

Before Kevlar, items stayed longer in the sand pit after being cracked of the pontil or as in this case, cut from the rod. If they stay there a while and cool, a granular texture can sometimes be seen on the base, caused by cooling in the sand.
