This was a most complex vase to manufacture. The vase is decorated intercalaire, powdered coloured glass was rolled onto a clear glass parison. This was them blown into clear glass form, the coloured glass being trapper between two clear layers. This has then been acid etched to achieve the high relief "ice" crystal effect . The flowers have then been enamelled. This gives the perception of having great depth to the image
