Finding the Right Glass for You

Whether you’re seeking glass dinner plates, centerpieces, platters and serveware or other items to elevate the dining experience or brighten the corners of your living room, bedroom or other spaces by displaying decorative pieces, find an extraordinary range of antique, new and vintage glass on 1stDibs.

Glassmaking is more than 4,000 years old. It is believed to have originated in Northern Mesopotamia, where carved glass objects were the result of a series of experiments led by potters or metalworkers. From there, the production of glass vases, bottles and other objects proliferated in Egypt under the reign of Thutmose III. Later, new glassmaking techniques took shape during the Hellenistic era, and glassblowing was invented in contemporary Israel. Then, on the island of Murano in Venice, Italy, modern art glass as we know it came to be.

Over the years, collectors of glass decorative objects or serveware have sought out distinctive antique and vintage pieces of the mid-century modern, Art Deco and Art Nouveau eras, with artisans such as Archimede Seguso, René Lalique and Émile Gallé of particular interest for the pioneering contributions they made to the respective styles in which they worked. Today, long-standing glassworks such as Barovier&Toso carry on the Venetian glasswork tradition, while modern furniture designers and sculptors such as Christophe Côme and Jeff Zimmerman elsewhere test the limits of the radical art form that is glassmaking.

From chandeliers to Luminarc stemware, find a collection of antique, new and vintage glass on 1stDibs.

Questions About Crystal Champagne Glasses
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
    A champagne glass is called a champagne flute or champagne coup. It is a stem glass with either a tall, tapered, conical shape or an elongated, slender bowl. They are used for wines and certain fruit beers. Glasses that are otherwise shallow, broad-bowled and saucer-shaped are used for cocktails. On 1stDibs, shop vintage and antique champagne 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 ExpertOctober 12, 2021
    The best shape for a champagne glass is a tulip-shaped glass. It is tall enough to allow the bubbles to rise and its wider surface area allows the aroma to build in the bowl. A tulip champagne glass looks more modern and is becoming a more preferred choice of stemware. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique and vintage champagne glasses.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Old champagne glasses are called champagne coupes. Champagne coupes are one of the oldest designs of champagne glassware, and have also been tied to the myth that they were modeled after Marie Antoinette’s bust. You’ll find a large collection of champagne glasses from many of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024
    To identify your crystal glasses, look at the bases, inner rims and stems for the maker's markings. Some makers mark pieces permanently with acid-etching or laser-engraving, while others use foil or label tags. The latter may come loose during washing or over time, so it's possible that your glasses may be unmarked. In addition, some makers of antique crystal wares didn't mark their products at all. If you do find a mark or label, use trusted online resources to find out which maker utilized it. If you need further assistance, consult a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer. Explore a large collection of crystal glassware on 1stDibs.

    To tell good crystal glasses, first examine them closely. High-quality crystal will give off tremendous sparkles when viewed under natural lighting and is completely free of bubbles. Gently striking the glass with the handle of a butter knife can also be helpful, as higher-quality pieces will produce a longer, clearer ringing sound. Learning about the maker by conducting online research can also help you assess the quality of your glasses. Some brands known for producing crystal wares of exceptional quality include Baccarat, Lalique and Daum. On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of crystal glasses.
  • 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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 30, 2024
