[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 442823, member: 5833"]I'm inclined to some sort of early plastic on these, based on the way the findings are embedded, meant to look like jet. See also the maroon red one, which looks like someone did a hot needle test on the front. Well, she's definitely not Victorian, white coral or any other hand carved substance. The look of the back, with that grainy look & slight depression, actually suggests more of a ceramic than glass, but the white figure looks to be glass. One thing to consider when assessing claims of a cameo's being made in 2 or more pieces is how well the materials said to be involved could be attached to each other; like with like is more common than mixed material. Yep. She soitainly is. :cigar: Then my work here is done. :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
