From the 1880s, Gallé used enamelling increasingly in conjunction with other techniques. Instead of applying the enamel directly to a smooth surface, in this example much of the pattern was first acid-etched onto the glass and then filled with enamel, which ensured both a better adherence and a shallower surface.
