Craquelé is the appearance of fine cracks in the glaze, also called crackle. The size and distribution of crazing will vary from tile to tile. Crazing can be enhanced with stains or sealed to minimize the effect.
Crazing is not a defect, but a decorative effect that is deliberately induced, usually known as artistic craquelé. All craquelé glazes should be sealed before grouting.
Variation is inherent to the handmade process and is intentional.

Craquelé is the appearance of fine cracks in the glaze, also called crackle. The size and distribution of crazing will vary from tile to tile. Crazing can be enhanced with stains or sealed to minimize the effect.
Crazing is not a defect, but a decorative effect that is deliberately induced, usually known as artistic craquelé. All craquelé glazes should be sealed before grouting.
Variation is inherent to the handmade process and is intentional.
