Crackle Glass

Greetings from the PurplePatty.com Community! Dating back to the 16th century this glass finishing technique gives glass a cracked appearance, hence the name Crackle Glass.

In was in the late 1920s when Martin Bach of Durand Glass company brought back a line of Crackle Glass. The momentum of Crackle Glass popularity grew by the late 1930s and was manufactured well into the 1970s with over 500 manufacturers of this popular selling line. Some of the most noted Crackle Glass manufacturers besides Durand were Blenko, Pilgrim, Kanawha, and Bischoff.

One of the most popular collectible Crackle Glass items today are the lovely pitchers in an array of different colors.
