More information

Glassmaking craft?s one of the finest and most skilled example is cameo glass. Cameo glass is a multilayered glass that is decorated with figures and forms carved through the layer so that it stands out in relief from the surface and the colored layers form the contrast of the picture. Such glassware is manufactured by blowing two or more layers of glass together. The expression cameo applies to any carving in the picture in which the picture is raised above the surrounding surface. Manufacturing takes high skills, time, patience and passion for glass and art. The earliest cameo glass pieces were made by the Romans about 2000 years ago. The Portland Vase is probably the best example from that era. At the end of the 19th century famous English and French glass artists as Northwood, Woodall, Galle, the Daums and the Muller Freres rediscovered cameo glass and made these pieces of unique glassware very popular. Today handcrafted cameo glass pieces are prized high by collectors because of the phenomenal amount of time, skills and labor to produce. Many pieces of cameo of glass are hold for pride of place in museums throughout the world.
