I think it's called ribbon ice.

I've always thought it would be cool to have containers that are designed to extrude it so that before a storm comes you could fill them with water and have a transient art thing happen.

I think that the temperature requirements are rather specific, so you might also need some kind of temperature control widget to make it happen more reliably.

I know them as frost flowers but it seems to be the same thing:
