    I'm not sure if crackle is the correct term. All four are cut on the top rim and show traces of gold gilding. They measure 6.25" x 4.5" x 1.10". Are they spoon rest? Also the glass seems to greatly vary in thickness along the rim. Any thoughts as to maker are appreciated.

    I think they call it "cracked ice".

    I think too fancy for a stinkin' spoon rest!
    Not that I have any good ideas as to what they may be.

    Beads that look like this are called "crackle" glass, but I don't know about glassware.

    Six inches x four inches seems a tad excessive for a lone teabag. ;)

    I think they are 1950s-60s berry or dessert bowls.

    Craquel (sp) is another term to use.
