crystalware
Elegant drinking vessels
Crystalware refers to decorative or functional items made from crystal glass, a type of glass containing lead oxide that gives it exceptional clarity, weight, and brilliance.
The term encompasses drinking glasses, vases, bowls, decanters, and ornamental pieces, typically featuring cut or etched patterns that catch and refract light.
Fine crystalware is often associated with formal dining and special occasions.
