Interesting info on the sand-blasting technique, Christine. There's an effect they used on Australian glass that ends up sort of whiter and more powdery which I suspect might be the sand blasting.
As for this glass, it's definitely the same sort of thing as Matthey Crinkles. The earliest date for the Matthey effect was
the late 1930s, so that would fit, just, but given the import duties, and Crown's tendency to make everything themselves (including expanding the company to make the cardboard boxes to carry their glass, and then branching into plastics and metal as Australian Consolidated Industries, at about this time), it could have been an inhouse version.
It's
quite uneven. Were Matthey Crinkles available in transfers that could be cut to shape?
