Continuing Discussion About 2680 Sherbet
from David Donaldson
Hi Folks,
Years ago I had the 2680 sherbet set in Yellow Jade and there was no casing or lining layers involved. Just straight Yellow Jade through and through. I was very interesting and well as a bit strange to try and imagine what one might put in them for a colorful desert.
