Crackle glass has become popular in the field of twentieth-century glass collecting. Taking its name from the crackle-like appearance of the glass, a finish caused by dipping the hot piece of hand-blown glass into cooling water, the majority of this highly collectible glass was made by West Virginian companies such as Blenko, Pilgrim, and Rainbow, and Depression Era companies Tiffin, Morgantown, and Duncan. This volume showcases more than 400 color photos of crackle glass along with company catalog pages, manufacturers' information, an essay on glass blowing, detailed captions, an up-to-date price guide, bibliography, and index. It is a must for students, collectors, and dealers of glasswares.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Crackle Glass in Color: Depression to '70s (A Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Hardcover)
This seller sent me a book that was ripped down the cover and was stamped 'Property of Murray Library 'several times over. I sent this seller 2 emails and they never bothered to responded. They did not have a phone number to call them directly. I had to open a claim with Amazon to resolve because they sent me a bad product and then ignored me! DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS SELLER!!!
