Classic example of early 1900s traditional French Pate de verre, the artist mixed crushed glass with enamels or paint to form a paste that was carefully placed in a mold, Displaying belle époque opulence. Per Wikipedia " Glass casting is the process in which glass objects are cast by directing molten glass into a mold where it solidifies. The technique has been used since the Egyptian period. Modern cast glass is formed by a variety of processes such as kiln casting, or casting into sand, graphite or metal molds. Pate de verre gained renown as an art form by French artists Émile Gallé, Antonin Daum and Réné Lalique.
