I wanted to call attention to another very cool item which I'm going to get and it's a piece of crackle glass. It's a blue crackle glass. Crackle glass is very interesting. It came in all different kinds of colors and different manufacturers. It's mainly known from coming from companies in West Virginia during the mid-century from the 30s to say the 50s. Crackle glass is very fun and it was created by dropping the glass piece into cold water as it was finished and it shatters the inside of it. And then what they do is they reheat it quickly to create a smoother finished texture after reheating so they just drop the piece into cold water quickly and it shatters it. It's really pretty, it's collectible, highly collectible. It's not worth a lot of money and this piece doesn't have a sticker on it. Most of the pieces that came with stickers which are usually worn off or you don't really want to keep a lot of the stickers on the pieces Blanco being of course the most sought after and most important of glass makers you could find all kinds of glass made in. You could actually order glass from these companies and you could request a crackle finish and they would produce it for you. There were other companies Bonita Enterprise and Hammond and I think Hanley was another one and they didn't come with stickers so I'm still sourcing who made this, it's probably Kanawa. I don'think it's Blanco because Blanco stayed within a certain form. Blanco, you can look up a Blanco catalog and Blanco bottles and glass, glassware, it was all very standardized and it came in its own shape and size so this distinctively doesn't look It sells Again crackle glass, blue crackle glass from the Good Life Drift.
