Crackle glass was originally made by the fifteenth-century Venetians, but most of the glass found today dates from the 1800s. The glass was heated, cooled, and refired so that many small lines appeared inside the glass.

Crackle Glass History
Vintage Original Crackle Glass
Crackle glass is an interesting novelty and the process is quite interesting. Crackle is a type of finish you add to glass in order to produce a cracked texture. It does not alter the piece in any way. Crafts immerse glass in cold water while it is molten hot, and that's when cracking takes place. After that, a glass blower fashions the crackle as desired. This may be hand blown or molded.

What types of crackle glass are good to buy?
Here are some crackle glass pieces to buy:
- Amberina crackle glass . Bearing a US patent, this heat sensitive glass has existed since 1883. The appearance is distinct. The shading changes from amber on the bottom part to red at the top part. This shading is a result of the reheating on the top of the glass before it cools. This particular glass turns a good red especially at the right heating temperature. You may also spot a reverse amberina where the bottom part is red and the top part is amber. True vintage items bear the acid-etched signature of the word 'amberina,' including the manufacturer name, which is Libbey's. Try a Kanawha hummingbird amberina crackle glass pitcher for decor. Those with budgetary constraints may look to selenium-based amberinas, as these are cheaper, contemporary versions.
- Mid Century crackle glass. One good choice you can set your eyes on is a mid century rainbow art glass amber crackle glass pitcher or vase. Vintage items that were very popular in the 50's and 60's are the Blenko ones. These are often large and brilliantly-colored.
