<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 433344, member: 5833&quot;]There are photos of several variants of one common Czech glass cameo above, at post #671, as well as a French one.&nbsp; And these are Czech, says so on the bottom of the box:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]151807[/ATTACH] </p><p>I have not seen a glass cameo I could say with any certainty was Czech other than imaginary pretty lady types, never historical men like my pal Nero:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]151808[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve also never seen a Czech piece that uses more than 2 colors of glass.&nbsp; I made some more cautious attempts at cleaning my guy a bit and was relieved to find the blue background is not water soluble paint, as I had feared.&nbsp; Nero looks more like the glass paste cameo of Napoleon at the center of this collection:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2018/treasures-l18303/lot.29.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2018/treasures-l18303/lot.29.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2018/treasures-l18303/lot.29.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]151811[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>So I&#039;m arguing France for the cameo, which does not mean the rest of the bracelet hails from there.&nbsp; I couldn&#039;t find anything comparable using an assortment of search terms.&nbsp; Didn&#039;t know what to call the chain style.&nbsp; Or is it even considered chain?&nbsp; Anything anyone finds that sheds light on time and place of origin will be of great interest.&nbsp; OBB, please add any photos you wish.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
