Bottle Coloured Glass Pendant Light for Kitchen Island, 5 Tints

Crackle glass is glass that has been shocked while hot, so the fractures run through the body rather than across the surface.

That is what these bottle-shaped shades are made of, and it is why the light coming out of them is not a clean beam. Every fracture inside catches the filament and throws it somewhere else, so a single bulb reads as a body full of sparks. Five tints: red, blue, yellow, purple and green. Hung in a row over a bar or an island they behave like coloured bottles on a shelf — which is exactly where the shape comes from.

Crackle glass fractured through its body, in five tints

• Fractures inside the glass: the crackle runs through the body, so a single filament breaks into a scatter of points
• Bottle profile: a tall narrow shade that hangs in a row without the shades crowding each other
• Five tints: red, blue, yellow, purple and green — mixable or matched
• Your own bulb: the socket takes a standard lamp, so brightness and warmth stay your decision

Mixed reads better than matched

A row of five different colours is what this design is for. All-one-colour works, but the point of a bottle shape is that it belongs in a group of unlike things.

Choose a clear bulb

The crackle needs a point source to work against. A frosted lamp softens the fractures into a general glow and throws away the reason to own it.

Hang it low over a counter

The effect is inside the glass, so it has to be near eye level. High in a room these become coloured dots.

Frequently asked questions

Does a bulb come with it?
No. It takes a standard lamp, which is what lets you choose the brightness and the warmth.

Which bulb suits the crackle?
A clear one. Frosted glass softens the fractures and loses the effect.

Can I mix the colours?
Yes, and it is the better arrangement. A row of unlike tints is what the bottle shape is for.
