WAG, looks like a glass cameo from the middle of the 20th century in a home made setting. Calling @Bronwen
Could the number over the signature be 70 for 1970?
I picked up a few things, these are the best of the bunch, a nice Yellowware mixing bowl and a Roseville Donatello bulb bowl. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
What a beauty! Be careful cleaning it, I know foil backed rhinestones can be damaged by getting wet, it corrodes the foil backing over time. Best...
