<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 9561577, member: 5833&quot;]Love your Ceres, so involved for &#039;just glass.&#039;&nbsp; With her painted accents, she is the glass version of <i>en habillé</i>.&nbsp; And the frame complements the metallic touches so well.&nbsp; I know I&#039;ve seen her before - that star earring sticks in the mind - but do not seem ever to have saved an image.&nbsp; I&#039;d rather have a high quality glass piece than a run-of-the-mill &#039;real&#039; cameo of shell that has been cut with a fork.</p><p><br /></p><p>If all you had was a photo of the front of the Ceres, &amp; you were unsure whether the cameo was glass or stone, the clue is the way the head is not quite centered in the tight space she has been allowed.&nbsp; The right tip of the truncation is right up against the edge, something you would not see in a non-assembled piece.&nbsp; The back is not shiny, but does show the irregularities to be seen on the surface of a hot liquid that has cooled.</p><p><br /></p><p>The black Persephone/Proserpina (also known as Kore, daughter), although molded, is evidently not glass.&nbsp; You would never see the findings screwed/tacked directly into glass in this way.&nbsp; [USER=79705]@mirana[/USER] What is the material?&nbsp; Thanks for bringing her over to join the conversation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
