Is real crystal marked?

1 Answer
Is real crystal marked?
Yes, some real crystal is marked. Many manufacturers, such as Baccarat, Waterford, Swarovski and Lalique, place maker's marks on their crystal wares. However, a lack of marking doesn't necessarily mean that a piece isn't crystal. A certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert can examine a piece to offer a more detailed assessment. On 1stDibs, find a range of crystal tableware, drinkware and decorative objects.
