Vintage Design
Originally, the cracking that appears on some ceramics is a manufacturing defect, but from the 1920s onwards, it became a new aesthetic criterion, and the thermal shock that causes it is deliberately reproduced.
As soon as they come out of the kiln, the pieces are immersed in cold water and then coated with a white, matte or glossy glaze.
It was not until the end of the decade that colored cracks began to appear.
Once again, the origins of this process can be found in the Far East.
As far back as the 12th century, the Chinese used this technique, known as “truité”, to produce their own crackles.
