Historical background

Crackle glass, also known as ice glass, was very popular in the 1960s and 70s. It was created by shock-cooling hot glass in water, which produced fine cracks within the material, giving it its distinctive look. Mouth-blown vases like this one often come from glassmaking centers such as Lauscha in Bohemia or from West German glass production and are now sought-after pieces of vintage glass art.
