    I've stayed out of this so far, but just can't resist asking by it
    is representation to call an item made of fine silver by its correct
    name? Once fired, silver metal clay is pure .999 silver. If one said
    it was forged or cast when it was sculpted with metal clay, that
    would be misrepresentation. Calling it fine silver is simply fact.
