Luxury arts included fancy Roman glass in a great range of techniques, many smaller types of which were probably affordable to a good proportion of the Roman public. This was certainly not the case for the most extravagant types of glass, such as the [[cage cup]]s or ''diatreta'', of which the [[Lycurgus Cup]] in the [[British Museum]] is a near-unique figurative example in glass that changes colour when seen with light passing through it. The Augustan [[Portland Vase]] is the masterpiece of Roman [[cameo glass]],<ref>Henig, 215-218</ref> and imitated the style of the large [[engraved gem]]s ([[Blacas Cameo]], [[Gemma Augustea]], [[Great Cameo of France]]) and other [[hardstone carving]]s that were also most popular around this time.<ref>Henig, 152-158</ref>
