How to Identify the Lead Crystal Decanters in the Market? People interested in collecting quality crystal glass decanters are specially used for having different kinds of drinks like crystal glasses. Nothing but the crystals provide that kind of sober look to your house bar or a professional bar with the quality cut crafted in the hands of leading artists. You cannot find quality crystal glasses from everywhere; you have to identify the original among them. For that, you will have to know some definite factors.
Factors required to identify the original crystal decanters The vintage crystal glass decanters are hard to found, and the following factors help you recognize them. The best quality consists of lead at a good amount, and you can do the following tricks to identify the best among the rest. Sound You can get to know about the presence of crystal in the decanters at your hand easily by using a knife, scissors, or any metal object. Just tap with the metal over the crystal decanter, and the sound will tell you about the presence of lead because the sound of metal on regular glassware is quite different from the crystals. The chiming sound makes the difference. Weight The traditional glass decanters are quite heavy due to the presence of lead oxide of premium quality. But if you compare the usual glass decanters, you will know that the difference in weight is much lower than the crystals. Consider both products of similar size, and whichever is heavier is the crystal you are looking for. Smooth cuts Crystals are popular and unique for their cuts on the surface. But you will witness both sharp edges and round edges of the cuts depending on the material on which the cuts are done. The round edge cuts are commonly found on crystal decanters, whereas the glassware gets sharp edges after cutting. Light and Prism Anyone who understands the science behind crystals knows when light is used over the original crystal cut, it provides a rainbow prism, and the same effect can never be seen with glassware. You will easily get to know the difference between the crystal and the normal glassware.
