OBS

Like cased glass the flashed variety was first made in Bohemia early in the 19th century. Not unlike cased glass in appearance, the coloured layer is no more than a film and only very light engraving was necessary or possible [...] The colouring oxide was applied to the surface of the vessel and developed in a muffle kiln, being almost indistinguishable from a transparent or translucent enamel.

OBS

Certaines de ces pièces étaient reprises à la roue de graveur, pour atténuer les bords saillants et donner plus de douceur au décor, rappelant les verres doublés chinois.
