~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stretch Glass
was produced by most of the major glass makers during the 20s and 30s.
Like Carnival Glass, Stretch Glass was iridized by spraying it while still hot with a solution of dissolved metallic salt(s). What made it different was a re-heating during which the sprayed-on iridized metallic surface and the underlying glass expanded at different rates causing striations in the metallic skin which looked like stretch marks. These striations can range from very subtle and barely noticeable to quite extreme and craggy. Stretch Glass was originally advertised as 'Rainbow' and 'Cobweb'; 'Stretch Glass' is what we call it today. Most Stretch Glass objects have no embossed or intaglio pattern.
Excellent Antique / Vintage Condition
means that a
listed
item has no decernable post-production damage but may have one or more of the following issues related to the production methods and conditions in the early 1900s:  air bubbles not squeezed out by hand-pressing; inclusions of ash or debris  from dirty conditions;
strands of undisolved colorant; lines called
straw marks where molten glass was snipped with cool metal shears from the gathering rod, hardened immediately and mixed into the glass like dried paint; marks from shaping tools used to form the edge; mould issues such as incomplete or malformed edges,
rough seams, extra glass at seams, webbed, incomplete or pulled edge points; cooling issues such as
uneven legs or a bowed base causing rocking; heat checks which are internal separations from uneven cooling or burst air bubbles, etc. While these issues may be undesirable, they do not qualify as "damage".
