<p>[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 90265, member: 56"]My approach would be three layers of glass: a clear base, then a yellow casing followed by a followed by a second, thinner, casing in pink (more of a flash). The berries are molded into the clear glass. Then acid is used to etch away most of the cased color with a resist protecting the casing over leaves and berries. Then the pink casing is selectively etched from the decoration, generally smoothing things over, leaving the yellow exposed and the pattern as you see it. JMHO[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
