Questions About Crystal Glass Sweden
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Swedish crystal is crystal made in Sweden. It is renowned for its quality, and most is made in a region of Sweden known as Glasriket, or the Kingdom of Crystal. On 1stDibs, find an array of Swedish crystal pieces from top sellers around the world.
  • 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 ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    Crystal is a subcategory of glass with a high mineral (usually lead) content.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    It depends. Since 1903, Steuben has been famous for both its glassware and crystal. Crystal is a kind of glass with additives that make it strong and able to be used in elegantly thin designs. Crystal also refracts light, creating a striking look. Steuben is known for its exceptionally beautiful crystal formula. Shop a range of Steuben glass and crystal pieces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Baccarat is a French manufacturer of fine crystal. Baccarat did originally start as a glasswork company with production primarily consisting of window panes, mirrors and stemware up until 1816. The brand then switched to crystal production, creating expertly crafted stemware, chandeliers and other pieces in a variety of design styles.

  • 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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

    The difference between glass and crystal wine glasses is their composition. Mineral deposits like lead, magnesium or zinc strengthen crystal glass, rendering it thin but durable. On 1stDibs, you can find a variety of wine glasses and other glassware from different periods.
  • 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
    Yes, some crystal glasses are worth something. Specifically, collectors often search for pieces from specific luxury makers, such as Daum, Baccarat, Cristal D'Arques, Gorham, Waterford, Riedel, Orrefors, Christofle, Lalique and Steuben. Along with the maker, factors that impact the potential value of crystal wares include their type, style, age and condition. If you'd like to learn the estimated value of your crystal glasses, a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer can assist you. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of crystal glasses.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Crystal is considered highly desirable in glassware due to its clarity, however, not all glassware is made of crystal. Crystal is more durable than standard glass and is often thinner because of its strength, yet it's more porous and requires handwashing. Shop a range of wine glasses, including crystal, from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    Acidic drinks like wine and citrus juices can leach lead from a crystal glass. However, unless the liquid is stored in the glass for more than a few hours, drinking it is generally safe.

  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    Hold the piece up to a light source. If you see a prism effect, it’s crystal.

  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024
    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 ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    The difference between a glass chandelier and a crystal chandelier is in the materials used to produce the light fixtures. Glass chandeliers are made of glass, a hard, brittle material made by melting together a combination of substances, such as sand, soda ash and limestone. When you add lead to these ingredients, you get crystal, a heavier material that can produce a reflective, sparkling effect when cut. Shop a diverse assortment of glass and crystal chandeliers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024
    How much crystal glasses are worth varies. Pieces produced by well-known luxury makers such as Lalique, Baccarat, Daum, Steuben, Tiffany Co. and Waterford are often sought-after by collectors. In addition, age, style and condition will impact a particular piece's value. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can examine your crystal and provide you with an estimated value for it. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of crystal glassware.
