No one to research this and the other cardboard boxes full of stuff, and no place to keep it, so just discard it. Yes, this is happening. I quickly found an identical item that had been auctioned ([URL]https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/38830137_3-14-x-4-black-amethyst-art-glass-hinged-jewel[/URL]) but note that the one in the link is missing its base, present on mine which identifies the metalwork as being from Middletown Plate Co (1866-1899). I noticed the name Mary Gregory is used a lot when listing these glass cameo caskets. Does anyone know who she was, and whether this one would actually be by her; or is it a style of glass making that is named after her like Kleenex?
