Splatter glass is created by spraying molten glass onto metal. The glass cools and hardens for use in art and decor.
Splatter refers to scattering a liquid in a chaotic manner, while splash describes liquid moving less forcefully. For example, paint splattering on ground versus water splashing in a pool.
Splatter screens catch grease from cooking pans, allowing steam to escape while keeping grease inside, which reduces cleanup time. They can also drain excess frying oil while keeping food inside. For messy cooks, splatter screens are essential to avoid scrubbing or the risk of fire. Washing splatter screens by hand with warm water keeps them clean, and quality splatter screens can last a lifetime.
In the 80’s, splatter painting glassware was popular. The technique involved using glass paint and rubbing alcohol to create unique effects. Blown glass vases with dark, splatter designs have an iridescent quality that makes them distinctive.
