Deep etching of glass

Hello everybody!
Who knows how to make a deep etching of glass? Looking at the pictures it is done without mica, as the texture is smooth.

The printed image on the signs

Hello!
The question arose: what you print color images, which are then in place within the round window on the back side. And even paste? In glue sticks, or even in some way?
