About MeFrom Strathearn's "Spey Range," which incorporates fired-in enamels of white, blue, green, and yellow to give a crackle texture to clear glass.More About Me
Crackleware ceramics are a type of glazed pottery adorned with a decorative surface, usually stylised by a network of cracks. Note the volcanic textures displayed here, harkening back to the earthy origins of ceramics.
