Top Picks: Tile Bar’s Crackle Glass

Fratantoni Interior Designers • November 16, 2016

What is it that makes a crackle glass ceramic tile so enchanting?

Legend has it that the Song Dynasty was the first period to embrace crackling or crazing as an art form and the first to view it as an enhancement rather than a flaw. The craze effect gives the tile an added dimension and allows it to sparkle. We are obsessed with Crackle Glass and decided to share our top three picks!

It’s all about finding beauty in the most unexpected places.

ROMAN CRYSTAL SPRINGS HERRINGBONE MARBLE & GLASS TILE
