Meanings
-
(countable, uncountable) A type of glass with fine cracks, developed in Venice in the 16th century by immersing the hot glass in cold water.
When this change has been fully developed we get a true crackle-glass, not to be confounded with the frosted glass of Venice mentioned in Chapter XIII.
