[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 1294934, member: 5833"]Just because it is black does not mean it was part of the fashion for mourning jewellery, which started in emulation of Queen Victoria after Prince Albert died. She died in 1901 & the look was already in decline. The Bohemians/Czechs were known for their glass & made components that were exported & assembled into finished pieces elsewhere. This figure is the goddess Ceres/Demeter. Some older molded glass does craze. It's not clear to me how this was worn. I don't see marks where any type of findings were attached. May have had pin back glued on.[/QUOTE]
