- Is crystal glass real crystal?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 12, 2024Yes, 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 ExpertNovember 4, 2024To 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.
- Are Swarovski crystals valuable?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024When loose, Swarovski crystals are generally not valuable, especially when compared to precious gemstones.

- What is full-lead crystal?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024Full-lead crystal is the term for crystal ware that contains at least 30% lead.

The brand also has an extensive history that sets it apart. Starting in the early 19th century, objects produced by the French company, from stemware to chandeliers to brightly colored paperweights, became staples of noble and wealthy households across Europe and as far afield as India. As a result, Baccarat has long been emblematic of luxury and exquisite craftsmanship. Find a collection of Baccarat crystal on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021Not many stones are as beautiful as amethyst. Indeed, vintage and antique amethyst jewelry has innumerable fans, and February’s birthstone has many unique attributes. Ancient Greeks and Romans believed this wine-colored quartz would keep them from getting drunk.

- How old is Waterford Crystal?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024Waterford Crystal is more than 225 years old. In 1783, business-minded brothers George and William Penrose founded the Waterford Glass House in southeastern Ireland because Irish glass was exempt from steep British import duties.

- Is crystal worth any money?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2024Yes, some crystal is worth money. On its own, crystal doesn't typically have intrinsic value the way that precious metals and gemstones do. However, crystal wares may be worth something due to their style, type, age, maker and other factors. Because the condition also heavily influences the potential value of a piece, experts generally recommend having your crystal evaluated by a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer if you wish to learn how much it may be worth. Find a wide range of crystal wares on 1stDibs.
