I can see why you thought what you did, but this doesn't look as if it was done with a crizzle technique (plunging the hot glass into cold water to introduce cracks on the surface, which "take up" the melting silver chloride) - this looks more as if it was covered in lots of thin straps of reddy glass trailed onto the surface.
Is it marked?
