Green glass dump paperweights with clay figures in them encrusted cameo sulphide

aah she has arrived and she's delightful! YOu might need to right click on images and open in a new tab to see them larger sized. If you press control and the + button at the same time you should get clearer detail once enlarged hopefully.
Sjhe's 3 1/4" tall by 2 1/4" wide.
I've put some close up picture on, but unfortunately because of some pitting in the glass, the photos distort her face slightly (which is very pretty)and dont represent how beautiful it is when just looking at it lit up.
Really pleased :)
She might be Demeter Goddess of Agriculture is all I can think of, as she looks to be surrounded possibly by sheafs of wheat ...but maybe a long shot difficult to tell. Her left arm is missing. Any thoughts on who she might be welcomed.

Actually the other side of her is broken off as it were, and I wonder if what is behind her right arm is a wing. Perhaps she is an angel?

similar to the horse one I linked to, but not the same and much bigger at 5" tall by 4 1/2" diameter - he 'raced away' ;D at over £200.00

An old thread but just got this piece. Base broken and fracture up through the dump but believe it may be a one off. The pottery mug has a large air bubble inside and the side of the mug has a small split from the pressure. Size is 110mm high x 60mm diam.
