Also known as cracked porcelain, craquelure glaze, ice crackle, celadon network, fractured ceramic finish, crazed glaze
A traditional ceramic finish featuring a network of fine, dark hairline fractures suspended within a glossy, translucent glassy topcoat.
Crackle glaze, historically known as craquelure or crazing, occurs when the glaze cools and contracts faster than the ceramic body beneath it. This tension forms a beautiful, web-like network of micro-fractures that are often stained with ink or tea to accentuate their intricate geometry.
Where to apply: Ceramic homeware, luxury cosmetics bottles, high-end stationery, and lifestyle product design seeking a touch of wabi-sabi heritage.
