A brown tranparent glass bowl in an open cupboard in the kitchen suddenly auto-exploded without any apparent reason. Small pieces of the glass were found strewn on the floor and on a table a meter away and into other containers in the same cupboard taller than the bowl, which means that the pieces flew up on explosion.If there were some one in the kitchen at that moment he would have been wounded severly in the face by the glass sharpnels. I have preserved the pieces of glass if some one is interested to study the material of the bowl.Is this a physics phenomena. Is there an explanation why this could have happened. Should people be warned of such possibility when buying some sort of glass objects. Is it a commun occurence. The climate in the kitchen was normal. The bowl is marked VERECO FRANCE
