This new design by Sans Soucie Art Glass features an etched carved glass Tree Silhouette.  The tree is actually raised, clear glass, with the background area of the glass sandblast carved.  Carving the background, means that the glass surface is raised, creating a a very unique effect. The opposite surface / side of the glass is also frosted or etched, so that the glass is obscure.
