 Engraving - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In antiquity, the only engraving that could be carried out is evident in the shallow grooves found in some jewellery after the beginning of the 1st Millennium B.C. The majority of so-called engraved designs on ancient gold rings or other items were produced by chasing or sometimes a combination of lost-wax casting and chasing.
The result may be a decorative object in itself, as when silver or gold are engraved, or may provide an intaglio plate, when copper is engraved, or a relief print block when wood is engraved.
Engravings continued to be common in newspapers and many books into the early 20th century, as they were long cheaper to mass reproduce than photo images.

 Glass Sulphides and Cameo Incrustations from the Glass Encyclopedia
James Tassie, in England, made cameo sulphides from the 1760s onwards, but these were primarily used to decorate jewellery or as surface decorations on pottery or glass, rather than glass-encased.
Their popularity as a luxury item was harmed when cheap imitations were made in which the design was pressed into a glass object, leaving an intaglio impression which was then filled with plaster of paris and glued onto the surface of the glass vessel.
Sulphides encased in glass were made in France by the procelain designer Desprez and his son during the 1790s; also by Henri-Germain Boileau at least as early as 1796.
