Festive Christmas Tree Hurricane

Decorative crackled glass vase featuring a Christmas tree design. Previously used- see photos for slight wear at the lip of the rim. Is only visible on close eye level inspection. Crackle glass, also known as ice glass, is a decorative glass technique where glass is heated and then rapidly cooled, causing it to fracture. This fractured glass is then reheated and coated with another layer of glass, sealing the cracks and creating a unique, ice-like appearance. This technique became popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for decorative items and tableware. Decorative glass items featuring holiday themes, such as Christmas trees, are commonly produced for seasonal markets. These items often utilize various decorative techniques like painting, etching, or the crackle glass method to enhance their visual appeal. While not typically considered high antiques, they can hold sentimental value and are popular collectibles for specific seasons or themes.
