The area close to the floor is completely covered in burgundy red, above the etched decor with clematis in front of a milky red-white background. Cameo signature 'Gallé' near the ground between the plants. Hand-made Cameo Glass: Glass overlaid with several layers, with high-cut worked out motifs. Since the middle of the 19th century, the design has also been done by etching. Cameo glass vessels were already being made in antiquity; at the end of the 19th century, Émile Gallé further developed this glass art, created Art Nouveau designs and employed a large factory in Nancy.
