Wow, very awesome. I've never even seen a picture of a set like this. What do you think is the material it is made of? Are they porcelain of some sort? Does not look like wood. At first I thought the white pieces looked like bone, but then the dark pieces would have been bright red probably.

The seller reneged on the deal. ***hole wasted my time in bank sending cheque, etc... So I never ended up seeing the set.

What a bummer!! Great looking set - interestingly - I was looking at a similar set locally earlier in the year but alas - missed it.
Not exactly the same (and not as refined) but very similar (maybe a repro, I don't know) Classic chess pieces

For those interested... someone tracked down a very likely suspect...
