Kralik - Bambus Crackle

Here is an interesting type of Kralik glass that is a combination of Texture decor and a Pulled decor. The decor is Bambus but I have no way of knowing if these were marketed in the same way as Bambus- since no piece has been discovered to have the Bambus label. My theory is that bambus (the line) came later than the decor had been around. In this version the vase was formed and decorated then submerged in water (or sprayed with water) to "crack" the surface of the glass. This glass would have to be blown larger and re-fired to expose the glass's texture.... along the way you can see the internal color that is in most of the rods used for Bambus and marquetry glass.
