A 111.111.1111..» That Long l'uulod the AI- thunrians of Europe. The workmanship of the vase and the material of “1110]! it is composed long exercised the ingenuity of some of the greatest antiquarians in Europe. Bwval believed it to be chalcedony; Bartoli, likintfaneon and others. 8111'. donyx‘: Count Fezi. amethyst; De la (Shausse and Misson, agate. while Veuuti decided that it was paste, Wedgwoml’s‘ examination of the. v1 so proved the last opinion to be the could one. A layer of white glass had been fused on a dark blue body, the exquisite figures being'afterward produced in this layer by culling down to the blue! by the gem engraver, after the manner of real cameos. Wedgwood also discovered that the vase had at some time been broken and repaired. It was hisopinion that the head which formed the bottom of the vase was a piece of some other - vork that had been out down and be sorted in the place of the original bot- tom, which had probably been destroyed at the time the vase itself was broken. By the autumn of 178‘!) \1’1-1igwood, after many failures, had succeeded in his arduous undertaking, and the first perfect copy, made in thefamous jasper ware, was finished. Several more copies wore subsequently made, though the exact number does not sum at all cor. 111111. Three were of various (It'ln‘m'r! of port! ctiou 11111111111111 in size and color.
