Crystal and glass has been used for centuries to make glasses to drink fine wine and champagne and other spirits. However, many people find it difficult to distinguish between them.
Wine & Champagne Glasses
When they use the word "crystal," they are usually describing a type of glass that is made from potash, soda or oxide and other additives.
Lead crystal is durable and has many properties, that is ideal for creating decorative effects and derives from the Italian term "cristallo".
Lead crystal is the type of crystal glass that is most commonly used for wine and champagne glasses, as well as other functional and purely decorative objects, often found around the house.
There are many ways glass and crystal may be differentiated by sight alone...
One major difference is that crystal glass is generally a lot thinner and more ornate than plain glass, mainly because of the lead content.
However, whilst the presence of lead helps with the process of decoration, it also makes crystal glass more fragile and more prone to scratches.
