Does anyone know a good definition of 'cold cast'
What I have, I am not sure it is, if it is, its porcelain, not resin. Its really detailed, and heavy. It looks either marblized or carved out of alabaster, but I know its not alabaster, and I don't think its carved.

So I was thinking of cold cast, and had heard the term, but really do not know exactly what it means

Thanks in advance

The only cold cast I've heard used was with Bronze. That's when they make a mold and pour the metal in.

ha Tom

glassgrl, I did a search on ebay and came up with 'Cold Cast on Porcelain'

course, how would I know if it was bronze?

I'll try to post a pic...........
Cuz I have no idea as to what to title it, crappy pics, if they work because I didn't get the coloring, which looks like polished stone, or marble







ok trying again...........

AND AGAIN!!! argh

Cold cast is resin, with powder added- bronze powder, or powdered porcelain or pulverized marble- anything that would be considered precious in its original state will be found mixed with resin and called cold cast whatever...

Cold cast is very heavy- the fillings weigh a lot. If it looks a little like marble, it probably is stone powders, swirled together to make a marbled finish
