Giovanna Di Rosa has heard of him: https://www.antiquecameos.net/cameos/allegory-of-the-hope-1383646715 [IMG] [IMG] Perotti was in Naples....
I've been pleased by the 'scores' some of you have had while following this thread. And glad the typewriter eraser proved useful in cleaning up...
I have seen the material variously described as plaster, meerschaum or pipe clay. My guess is that pipe clay is another name for meerschaum....
The process seems most likely to start at the interface of the white & the brown. Places where there are curls/tendrils/ribbons are hotspots. A...
I think what auction houses have been underestimating is the degree of interest that has developed in signed pieces, especially when signed by...
Maybe it will grow a head. You're right that it doesn't actually look like lava. It doesn't look like anything has broken off the larva cameo,...

Surely this is the right guy. This is the 1830 list? Surprised the eagle looks more like a goose in such an early piece. Maybe Garafoni didn't...
Only 1? I have it least 7. 'Ubiquitous' barely captures it. A joke I made here that he must have given one away with every purchase in the...
Oh! That must have broken someone's heart when it shattered. Glad it has come to someone who loves it anyway. Beautiful mount. In my files I...
