<p>[QUOTE="Darkwing Manor, post: 354712, member: 738"]That's a lovely chandelier, made by "casing" two layers of hot glass together, then when fashioned and cold, cutting away the outer layer to reveal the inner one. It's usually referred to as "cut and cased". Yours has been hand-enameled as well, in the floral and diapered embellishments. All-in-all a lot of very skilled and difficult work. Here is a video from Corning showing glass artist Bill Gudenrath using a similar technique at the beginning of the video. [MEDIA=youtube]3h5bLwWeZ2w[/MEDIA][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
