[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 3089252, member: 5833"]The process seems most likely to start at the interface of the white & the brown. Places where there are curls/tendrils/ribbons are hotspots. A friend to whom I sent a pencil style typewriter eraser like the one I use subsequently discovered ceramic tipped pens for, I think, marking glass & found she liked them better. I have not looked into this myself, have not had to treat much Byne's, but feel safe with the typewriter eraser. Don't think you could do much harm with one. Was it helpful to you? That is definitely his S. One of his better pieces. Schmoll died in 1924 at the age of 87. My guess would be that he stopped carving by 1900. The findings on your cameo are 20th century, so have to agree you are correct on the cameo being earlier than the mount. She is definitely a bacchante, one of Schmoll's favorite subjects. With flowers she becomes his other favorite subject, Flora.[/QUOTE]
