There's only clear glass, any colour is from the silver chloride crizzling (and the poor photo)

I know, :-* but it still resulted in a coloured background. That makes it a bit on the unique side.
Like the cocktail jug Patrick now has, all the colour comes from silver chloride - even the blues are from the silver getting into the metal of the glass, but they go green because of the yellow also produced when it reacts with the glass.

Vicente Boffo probably introduced this trailing having used this surface decoration at Whitefriars before he left in 1970.

Possibly random trailing left proud of the surface but Harris was already experimenting with trailed decoration.
