Specialist note


“Work is a very personal thing to the engraver; he enlivens or subdues a piece at will. Then, the endless ways of smoothing and polishing glass impart to it a delicacy as appealing to touch as to the eye. The cameo-engraved glass of multi-layered vases can draw on an inexhaustible store of effects…” Antonin Daum, 1909
