Crystal Glassware
We stock a vast and varied collection of machine and hand-blown glassware made from lead-free crystal. Crystal glasses have a distinctive ringing sound when tapped at the widest point of the bowl; ordinary glass usually has a duller tone, if any noise at all. Lead crystal also offers exceptional glass colour and durability; during the making process, seams can be gently removed through fire polishing resulting in glasses seemingly having a perfect finish. The more expensive crystal glasses are made by hand and are mouth-blown, but crystal glassware can also be made by machine using moulds which usually reflects a lower price.
Crystal glassware is hard wearing and durable, so it’s perfect for use in a trade environment, whether in a bar/restaurant, a hotel or outside catering, and for home use. A set of crystal glasses would make the perfect gift for the wine enthusiast in your life; whether it’s Riedel, Schott Zwiesel, Mark Thomas or another manufacturer you opt for, we’re sure you won’t be disappointed.
