“Verre églomisé” (Reverse mirror technique) from the French term meaning smooth gilded, is a process of gilding the back of glass with gold or metal sheet. In one of a number of related processes, the metal is glued with a gelatin adhesive, resulting in a mirror-like, reflective finish in which designs are subsequently engraved.
