Your photos are excellent. You can always augment them with your words. E.g., I couldn't entirely read the imprinted writing from the photo, but...
I'd rather have OP's: [ATTACH]
Since Royal Doulton has so considerately marked this with exactly what it is, you're all set to do what we would do with that info & go searching...
Should have added @kyratango https://www.antiquers.com/threads/tooled-and-pressed-brass-lidded-box-with-celluloid-hippocampi.36928/#post-584288
You have a good example of a subject I find a little gruesome. It is after a sculpture group known as the Farnese Bull:...
Sounds like the Mad Tea Party!
Have seen people pair disparate things. I have a cameo of the Emperor Nero set in a locket that has a sepia photo of a baby inside.
Think you could put in any memento that fit. Have seen compartments deep enough to hold something larger holding only a photo, with many layers...
This was a pretty thing when new, meant to imitate a luxury item that would have been worthy of Faberge. I can't diagnose the bent chassis...
Back definitely needs to be cleaned. As you noted, the name is gradually coming away on its own. Looks as though if a time comes that someone...

I think it is paint with enough of a chance it is water based that you would not want to test. Learned the hard way when cleaning up a cameo that...

I do not see any enamel.
Or the tarnish is obscuring it. There is more to the left. Photo not close enough to really bring it out: [ATTACH]
Does it say 'MADE IN CHINA'?
My eye sees letters from both India & China. I wouldn't touch the ivory - fair chance the pigments are water soluble. As far as patina, I...
Kind of looks like 'India' to me.
It is getting a bit unwieldy. I was thinking more of any newcomers with an interest in cameos, even if they just scroll through to look at...
Separate names with a comma.
