Lumpiness is because the decoration is on the surface... not cased as in the second in the thread.

Thank you, Frank.  But I don't understand why anyone would want to do this effect on purpose.  Was is a simpler, cheaper way of 'decorating' glass?  Or was it considered a perfectly respectable method, no worse than casing?

They did it to offend you Anik.... ;D

It's just one of many forms of decoration, same technique as here but with smaller fragments of glass: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,37151.msg203090.html#msg203090
