#0304 Vintage green crackle glass pitcher with an applied handle 8 Inch

Crackle glass, also known as ice glass, is a type of decorative glassware characterized by its distinctive cracked appearance. This effect is achieved by plunging hot glass into cold water, causing it to shatter on the inside. The piece is then reheated to smooth the edges and prevent further cracking, resulting in a unique, textured surface. Crackle glass was particularly popular during the mid-20th century, with many companies producing a variety of items such as vases, pitchers, and decorative bowls. These pieces were often made in vibrant colors, adding to their appeal as decorative objects. The technique has been revived by contemporary glass artists, who continue to explore the possibilities of this visually striking method.
