To appreciate fully the magnificent craftsmanship of lead crystal, one must have a basic understanding of the nature of the crystal, as well as the processes for forming and cutting individual pieces.

Volcanoes make crude glass constantly, called obsidian, but fine glass requires purity of ingredients, blended under ideal conditions, by talented and experienced master glassmakers. All glass that is to be decorated by cutting requires the addition of up to 40% lead oxide, a chemical that makes ordinary glass soft enough to cut against moving wheels without shattering. Leaded glass is called "crystal". All crystal is a type of glass, but all glass certainly is not properly called crystal.

Leaded crystal has a clarity and brilliance unmatched from ordinary glassware. The weight is noticeably greater than the same sized piece made of unleaded glass. The brilliance paves the way to provide for optimum reflective surfaces.
