<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 1429156, member: 5833"]No, but I don't think it is. There's the little loop that's an attachment point for a safety chain at the top, & people sometimes use them as a makeshift bail by adding a jump ring. Auctioneer makes no representation about the metal, just shows the badly struck mark.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it's a really pretty piece & a fine example of what can be done with glass. Cameo is probably French even if setting may not be. Hard to credit auction house genuinely believes it is hardstone & set such a low estimate. May be what consignor told them but they have doubts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
