Materials -Cerrillos Turquoise & Silver—The bottom drop is pale green, whilst the top part is more of a slightly bluish Cerrillos turquoise. I think, judging by the construction, the top and bottom were made for each other. Look at the underplate. This was the original back. The stamped and flattened soldered balls were added afterwards as they overlapped the original construction.
Condition -good
