Originally the impressions were made of porcelain. We do not use porcelain because of its fragile quality. The material we use is more durable and should last longer, but it still has the high quality appearance and feel as the historic orginals had. For the impression (carved piece), we use a modern material which is a blend of polymers and resins. The material is extremely durable and will not fade or change in time like ordinary photos. The exact composition of the material is a trade secret.
