Reheating cameo glass to my knowledge  is usually done only for light surface polishing. I think reheating it this much will distort the borders of the decoration and probably produce a bulge to the inside. This was decorated still hot but how...

Reheating cameo work is also part of the technique for graal glass in which the cameo, after reheating, is covered by a layer of clear glass before finishing. But the vase discussed does not seem to be graal as there appears to be no obvious clear coating covering the cameo part.

Dimi, photo of this mark was taken from   this book - a truly amazing work of art: exact sketches of thousands of glass markings, labels and signatures - and neither images of markings nor photos of glasses representing the names.

Impossible to post a short biography - 200+ years of glassmaking (and other industry), plenty of generations all named Josef Riedel and several plants in different places in Bohemia until 1945.

Polaun is German transcription of Polubný

This is what confused me for a moment.
Nice book and probably a great tool- it is probably time to get me one.
Thanks Pamela!

Before you buy - here is C. Hartmann's corresponding website  with much more since first edition of the book. However, annual subscription against payment is necessary.
I did not subscribe because I prefer free access pages like my own www.pressglas-pavillon.de and www.glas-musterbuch.de

Anne and Kevin, it's fine to delete my photo of that Riedel label,  - thank you!

Here's a link to Riedel's   'pineapple' mark - please scroll down to 5th line far right.
