It's technically not nanotechnology, if you simply say that anything with an active nanoscale component is nanotechnology then you can encompass pretty much everything. The cup of tea I just made is a man made process depending on nanoscale interactions, but it would be foolish to say it is nanotechnology.
The most accepted definition goes along the lines of: to be classed as nanotechnology a product has to operate in some way on the nanoscale and that operation is deliberately engineered and critical to the product's performance. In other words intent is key.
Aside from that though it is still a very impressive piece of work. I've seen similar ancient glassworks in London museums and it amazes me the colours and quality that could be made.
