It may not be English glass, metal fittings were often added after export. How are the colour and the silhouette applied? Is it cased glass with external painting or all on the inside?

I've always thought that this type of decoration (Schwarzlot/ black enamel) was Bohemian. We see these regularly in the form of spooners and sugars with either silhouettes of dutch folk scenes (wooden shoes, funny hats, pipes) or 18th century elegance (wigs, wide dresses, tailcoats).
