- Are glass decanters valuable?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023Whether glass decanters are valuable depends on the piece. The maker, age, rarity and condition of a decanter will influence its value, and whether or not collectors desire pieces like it will also have an effect on how much a given glass decanter will be worth.

- Do old decanters contain lead?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023Yes, old decanters may contain lead if they are crystal. Until the passage of regulations in the 1960s, many manufacturers used crystal that was 32 percent lead or more. As a result, decanters made from the crystal are generally not safe to use to store spirits. On 1stDibs, find a collection of decanters.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To clean a cut-glass decanter, fill your sink with warm water and mild dish soap. Place the decanter in the sink and wipe it with a soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry with a soft towel. On 1stDibs, shop a range of antique and vintage decanters.

The period from 1771 to 1876 is considered the early period of American cut glass — later, cut glass was called Brilliant glass.

- What is Bohemian-cut glass?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Bohemian glass is decorative glassware from the 13th century onwards made in Bohemia and Silesia.

- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021American Brilliant cut glass is deeply and sharply cut glass known for its reflective quality and highly polished nature. This type of glass is thick, heavy, and very clear.
Bonnin Ashley Antiques IncFebruary 23, 2021The difference between cut glass and cut crystal is the lead content along with some other criteria. "There are three primary criteria for crystal as established by the European Union in 1969: a lead content in excess of 24%, a density in excess of 2.90 and a reflective index of 1.545." "Prior to 1969 crystal glass was generally around 36% lead. However, due to concerns over lead leaching the percentage was reduced to the [unofficial} standard of 24%. Today glass with a lead content of 10% or more is considered to be crystal or “fine glass”" in the US. - 1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023It is not necessarily true that a diamond is real if it cuts glass. Before the advent of high-quality synthetic gemstones, attempting to scratch a piece of glass with a gemstone was a more accurate way of determining whether it was a real diamond. However, some human-made stones are now hard enough to produce scratches on glass, just like diamonds. As a result, experts generally say that the best way to tell if a diamond is real is to have it inspected by an experienced jeweler, dealer or appraiser. Shop a large collection of diamond jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021Cut glass is a highly valuable collectible on any antique market. Cut glass will tend to have a defined pattern with sharper detail. You should also look for mold marks as cut glass should be sharp and not smooth. Find a variety of glass collectibles and art glass on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To tell if cut glass is American Brilliant, look for deep cuts that reflect light with a brilliance. If you can, flick the glass gently with your fingernail and listen for a bell-like ring. Always purchase crystal from a reputable seller to ensure authenticity. Shop a large collection of American Brilliant crystal from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
