<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 1638360, member: 5833"]Wedgwood calls them cameos & there is no reason to think of them as any less cameos than we do of glass cameos. The modeler of this one decided to make Venus a little more modest by giving the suggestion of drapery on her upper torso. Below that is her uncovered tummy & then the usual covering of the lap.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is the Wedgwood name impressed into the back upside down relative to the design on the front? Hope that's the case & not that the cameo has been put back into the frame wrong way up. Usually see Wedgwood cameos in their own very simple settings. This is quite lavish. Love it![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
