About Lead Crystal

Made of 24%-lead crystal (some decanters are made of 30%-lead crystal), each glass or decanter is individually crafted and mouth-blown.  As with all handmade pieces, they will vary slightly from piece to piece.  No two can ever be identical and may reveal some variations. Even by hand, all items are produced within tight tolerances to provide an exceptional experience in crystal appreciation.

ACCEPTABLE EXAMPLES OF IMPERFECTIONS
  • Tiny air bubbles can become trapped during the glass gathering process and are revealed during the blowing process;
  • Hand tool marks;
  • Crystal pattern and colour irregularities;
  • Slightly asymmetrical form or variation in glass distribution;
  • Slight variations in dimensions and weight.
These small variations are the result of traditional, skilled-hand craftmanship, incomparable to mass automatic production.
