cameo glass
Relief-carved layered glass
Cameo glass is decorative glass made by layering different colors, then carving away the outer layer to create a raised design against a contrasting background.
The technique produces relief images similar to carved cameo jewelry.
Victorian-era cameo glass, particularly from English makers like Thomas Webb, remains highly collectible: The vase featured white figures carved against deep blue cameo glass.
