Cased glass is
composed of two or more layers of coloured glass. The inner layer may be blown
into outer layers while the glass is still hot or a piece in one colour is
dipped into the molten glass of another colour whilst in the furnace. Cameo most
often refers to glass which is composed of a solid white layer of glass cut
through to the base colour. This ancient Roman technique was revived by the
English in the late 19th century. Antique English cameo often featured classical and
botanical subjects carved by hand. The unique pieces therefore carry a high
price when offered for sale. Identification is sometimes difficult for the less
experienced collector as few English Cameo pieces are marked. A mark does not
always mean an item is more valuable. Carder, Frederick one museum quality item in stock on this page Stevens & Williams The best and most well known designer and wheel cutter at Stevens & Williams.
