[QUOTE="PepperAnna, post: 9280912, member: 17332"]Yes, you are correct! I had checked Wedgwood at the V&A, and Beazley Archives for Tassie, but the sulfide cameos were at the Royal Collection Trust. Description: Circular tortoiseshell box and cover lined with gilt copper. Gilt-framed rectangular panel inset into the lid with two Tassie sulphide cameo profiles of George III and Queen Charlotte, on a royal blue guilloché enamel ground. Tassie cameos are named after James Tassie (1735-1799), who created less costly versions of carved gemstones, by using glass paste, sulphur and enamel to create cameos.
