Mother-of-pearl refracts light in layers, causing the surface to shimmer between rosé, green, and silver depending on the viewing angle—an effect no print can replicate. The background between the petals is finely guilloché-patterned, providing a matte contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe attached seal is the real find: it was issued by the World Expo Association for authorized souvenir items and proves that this is a licensed product and not a later reproduction.
