Beautiful Lead Crystal Glassware
If you know anything about glassware you will have noticed how lead crystal glass glistens so much more than plain glass. It seems to magically capture light and shines much more than conventional glass.
Crystal glass, in Europe, means that the glass has a specified higher content of lead. The European Union have said that for glass to be defined as lead crystal it must have at least 4% of lead in the form of lead oxide. Anything less than this is amount considered as plain glass, not crystal.
It is interesting to note that there is not an internationally agreed standard for crystal glass. In the U.S.A. glass is defined as 'crystal' if it contains as little as 1% lead. In Eastern Europe the term 'crystal' can be misleadingly used to refer to any piece of high quality glassware, regardless of the precise lead content level. So beware if you are buying what is described as 'crystal glass' from these sources.
Adding lead, in the form of lead oxide, to glass changes its refractive index. The lead makes the glass noticeably heavier, softer and easier to cut and engrave. It's the change in refractive index caused by the lead oxide that makes crystal glass appear to be so much more sparkly and shiny than plain glass.
If you are worried that the lead in lead crystal can leach out into stored beverages you are right to be concerned. Storing wines, vinegar, fruit juices or other acidic beverages in lead crystal decanters for any long period of time is not a good idea as lead will migrate into the stored beverage and end up being consumed. Regular use of lead crystal is not recommended for these reasons, particularly for children or pregnant women.
Lead crystal glass has traditionally been used to make chandeliers because of the way the lead crystal refracts light making the chandelier glisten beautifully. Lead crystal glassware is also always popular for gift items so if you are ever stuck for an idea why not give a beautiful lead crystal decanter or a pair of champagne flutes. You'll be bound to make a great impression.
