Questions About Cut Crystal Glass
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 12, 2024
    Yes, crystal glass is real crystal. However, it's important to understand what the term means. In the world of glassware, crystal is a type of glass that features an additive like lead oxide, potassium carbonate or barium oxide to increase its durability. Crystal glass is crystal because it contains these additives, but it does not actually have a crystalline structure from a scientific perspective. The term crystal as used by glassworks comes from the word "Cristallo," which was pioneered by Italian glassblowers to describe high-end glassware. It doesn't have the same meaning as the word crystal when employed in scientific contexts. Shop a large collection of crystal glass on 1stDibs.

    There are several ways to tell if an item is crystal or glass. The main difference between crystal and glass is that crystal is made with lead, making it easier to add decorative elements.

If you are still unsure, consult a certified appraiser. Browse a range of authenticated fine crystal and glass pieces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    American Brilliant cut glass is deeply and sharply cut glass known for its reflective quality and highly polished nature. This type of glass is thick, heavy, and very clear.
    The difference between cut glass and cut crystal is the lead content along with some other criteria. "There are three primary criteria for crystal as established by the European Union in 1969: a lead content in excess of 24%, a density in excess of 2.90 and a reflective index of 1.545." "Prior to 1969 crystal glass was generally around 36% lead. However, due to concerns over lead leaching the percentage was reduced to the [unofficial} standard of 24%. Today glass with a lead content of 10% or more is considered to be crystal or “fine glass”" in the US.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021

    It is not necessarily true that a diamond is real if it cuts glass. Before the advent of high-quality synthetic gemstones, attempting to scratch a piece of glass with a gemstone was a more accurate way of determining whether it was a real diamond. However, some human-made stones are now hard enough to produce scratches on glass, just like diamonds. As a result, experts generally say that the best way to tell if a diamond is real is to have it inspected by an experienced jeweler, dealer or appraiser. Shop a large collection of diamond jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To tell if cut glass is American Brilliant, look for deep cuts that reflect light with a brilliance. If you can, flick the glass gently with your fingernail and listen for a bell-like ring. Always purchase crystal from a reputable seller to ensure authenticity. Shop a large collection of American Brilliant crystal from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
