Title: Glass term for this type of Okra.
Post by: keith on September 13, 2015, 06:13:32 PM

5.5 inches tall, matt 'midnight' blue, frosted, lighter blue, gloss, on the inside with what looks like iridescent 'cameo' type floral  work, marked to the base and very heavy, help please  ;D ;D

It looks like just basic cameo -  just that the outer layer of glass was heavily foiled with gold first.
It's just called Cameo when it's done by both Harris brothers - Jonathon and Tim, who specialise in this sort of thing.
