I am still not sure what technique has been used on this vase. Whatever it is, you don't see these pop up every day. I was quite pleased to bring it home. The color on this is also a much nicer peach color than the bright mustard yellow the sellers pic suggested. It's a warm mellow vase. This is the second one I've bought and it's much much better than the first. :)

Very pretty!....:-)
Nice piece of signed Harrach!
Really neat glass! Your first two photos give the appearance of cameo, while the last photo (close up) looks as if it is applied.

It's neither. I think it's closer to air trap than applied. the decoration is all encased under a layer of clear glass.
