<p>[QUOTE="Francisco G Kempton, post: 4397884, member: 22714"]It could be crackle glaze which is intentional and easy to create, or it could be crazing. Crazing is not usually desired, and as Made in Macau always marks their products, it is unlikley they would have delibertly created the crackle to make the product look older. It is more likely that the standards and quality of the clay and other ingredients was low, that the process was not to a high standard. The shapes would not be 'thrown' or soft formed but manufactured. This can lead to a more a more porous resulting porcelain that can lead to crazing.Usually indicative of poor quality porcelain process.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
