Based on images of the baseā¦
Based on images of the base it is not ivory and is most likely some kind of resin or artificial Ivory, basically ivory dust and resin. You can test with a red hot needle to the base, if it is resin the needle with penetrate and the melted resin will give off a strong smell.
