Title: Craqueleure like Ikora? or Studio?
Post by: david31162 on October 06, 2007, 05:09:03 PM

Craqueleure is that the correct word for this effect.
Ive seen this from WMF and i think, Leerdam as well as other makers that i cant recall at the moment. I dont think the colours are right for Wmf . Any ideas anyone?
 Thanks David

Craqueleure is a painting term indicating shrinkage damage to the varnish. Sometimes also applied to crazing on ceramics. It could be that some used the term as a noun for glass finishes. On Monart this finishing style was named Cloisonne it was achieved by cracking the hot outer enamels by dipping into a bucket of water and then blowing some more to open out the cracks and reveal the underlying colour.

The small foot on yours suggests a modern studio piece to me.

Ive only seen it done by a couple of makers of vintage glass but is this a fairly common effect in modern studio glass? Or should it be fairly easy to track down a maker?

Perhaps if a moderator adds 'or Studio' to the title line an artist may recognise it.

Else it is very hard!
