Is this Angel Trumpet made of porcelain?

It almost appears as if this Angel Trumpet seedling is made of porcelain!  Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is from a cross between brugmansia Rothkirch and New Orleans Lady.

I will most likely cross it back to both Rothkirch and New Orleans lady in hopes of getting some color.
