Thank you Ellie and Rene! Great images!
The tip of the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. jar posted by Ellies looks similar to the tips of the modern You are not allowed to view links.

I wonder if this one was meant by JKP when he wrote: “One looks very much like it was made from glass (the illustrator has attempted to make it look transparent)”.
I have been unable to navigate to details of the ivory objects on the Rosenborg site, but the large image of the ivory room seems very interesting. It's clear that jasper, enamel-glass and ivory objects were preserved for their great value, but it also seems likely that they mimic the shapes of more common objects that possibly had an earlier origin.
