Part of Emanuel Beranek’s “Antique Glass” range. the bubbles in the glass were created by dissolving various carbonates into the melt. This technique was deployed during the Second World War to mask impurities in low quality glass but proved so beautiful and popular that it was continued after better quality materials became available.
