It was a technique that they named as ‘Intaglio’ or ‘tag’. It was separate from engraving and cutting (although very similar) and was developed by Northwood to keep his workforce busy after reduction in demand for cameo.

It’s hard to see how deep the cuts are on the glass shown by kerstinfroberg but I assume it’s the ‘Intaglio’ technique. The finish could be left matt or polished, Hajdamach says 19c was invariably polished.

These are some examples of the technique in various qualities:
