Q. Alan, Two of the Cintra vases pictured appear to have cracking. Was Cintra another more unstable type of Carder glass? Thanks. Regards, Jeremy Hayes

A. Jeremy, I don’t know which of the two you are referring to, but I wouldn’t think cracking is necessarily a problem with cintra, inasmuch as the powdered glass is sandwiched between two sheets of clear glass. But then others may have another opinion. If so, please respond to Jeremy’s question. Alan
