[QUOTE="mirana, post: 9562666, member: 79705"]I bought this a while back and thought it was perhaps ceramic. This morning I was browsing and now I'm wondering if this is actually a Tassie-style glass paste cameo?? Mine: [ATTACH=full]457819[/ATTACH] [URL='https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/G_1996-0116-1']A Tassie in The British Museum[/URL]: [ATTACH=full]457822[/ATTACH] I noticed the texture in the hair immediately as I recognized the "grains" and divots in my Ceres: [ATTACH=full]457821[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]457823[/ATTACH] The back of Ceres has some non-matte glassy patches on it that I previously thought were glaze, but now realize they are all inset, instead of on top of the surface. [ATTACH=full]457820[/ATTACH] I'm assuming this is not an OG Tassie because it's in gilt brass and his pieces are set in finer stuff. So "Tassie style" if it is the same material?[/QUOTE]
