On page 363 of the book 'From Neuwelt to the Whole World' there is a vase Plate 457 - 'Colourless glass underlaid with topaz and overlaid with ruby red, mould blown, body flattened from two sides.  Two motifs of trees and mountainous countryside etched in two steps, separated by vertical cut grooves'. 
The design of the decoration (mountains and trees) looks very similar to that on mine although the detail on the tree trunks is more intricate than mine which are 'simple' and one layer.

A note underneath reads 'Regularly produced form, vase recorded in nine sizes, also with other similar landscape motifs'.

So the form and colours are different to mine (mine is not underlaid, but simply colourless glass overlaid with green), but the cameo decor is remarkably similar.  Very hard to tell and see the detail of the way the cameo is done from the photograph though.
