Research Notes

Notes

This double layered style is called cameo glass, where one layer of glass is layered over another and then excised to reveal shapes or a design. This style is called cameo overlay, where the second layer of glass is laid over the first, fused through a heating process, then excised to reveal the glass underneath.
