technique: casing glass & etched as well as cut (built up with different colored layers) daum nancy vase shaped as cylinder having shoulder / slightly hoisted round mouth / round foot excellently manufactured cameo (casing) glass of multi-layered type (= pink coloured glass underneath / dark purple shaded layers above - visible at top area as well as at area below). Stunning decorations depicting figurines (being dark purple shaded, too), made in cut as well as in etched technique, covering vase's surface like a frieze running around: these are female figurines - bare-breasted ladies with the dress billowing out, some of them wearing hat and further two jumping dogs - connected to each other by stylized ribbons, all of them covering vase's surface in most decorative manner.
