Crackle, a beautiful glass series by artist Åsa Jungnelius. As part of the Kosta Boda collection of glassware.
The Crackle series celebrates cracks, beautifully preserved in glass. Like a moment paused in time, when the frozen ice has just cracked.“I have revealed the expressive shape of the clay. The convergence of hot glass and cold water creates a crackled finish. I wanted to create a surface reminiscent of frozen, crusted ice. A crunchy, crackling feel. The technique is old, but I use it in my own personal way. The Crackle serious is mouth-blown in Kosta.” – Åsa Jungnelius
