Available: 1 Crackle glass was invented in the 16th century by the master glassblowers of Venice. The crackle effect is produced by submerging molten hot balls of glass in very cold water. This resulted in the outer layer of the glass cracking. The process would then continue with the glass being reheated and blown into the desired shape. As the glass was shaped and expanded, the cracks would become larger, resulting in a distinctive crackled effect. Crackle glass (often spelled "craquelle") did not become popular until the late 1800s. It was made in many factories in the United States and Europe.
