    This was my late mothers Terrarium. I'm wondering if anyone here might have any knowledge or insight about this that they could share.

    I'm certain my parents would have given it the white coat of paint however I can see on the bottom side this was not the first paint job. Also I know they needed to put glass in and the finals are of course not original.

    I do not see any marking on the bottom side. I'm guessing this could be Zinc although I am wondering if it is lead.

    What do I have here?

    Thanks in advance.

      it's very beautiful! i wonder if it was an antique aquarium at one time or whether it was built as a terrarium orignally. regardless, a very nice find!
