Questions About Color Crystal Glasses
  • 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.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Crystal is considered highly desirable in glassware due to its clarity, however, not all glassware is made of crystal.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    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. Crystal refracts and disperses light, creating a rainbow effect, and is heavier than regular glass. When gently tapped, crystal items create a ringing, musical sound. If you are still unsure, consult a certified appraiser. Browse a range of authenticated fine crystal and glass pieces on 1stDibs.
