"The art of cameo under glass called 'sulphide' comes from this observation (of Apsley Pellatt, Curiosities of Glassmaking, London, 1849) that the 'drops of rain or dew give a silvery aspect to the leaves which are villous and rough to the touch. From this it has been deduced that an unpolished object which does not melt at the temperature of crystal could, incrusted in its depth, simulate silver.'"
-Sulphides, The Art of Cameo Incrustation, Paul Jokelson
