lead crystal
Heavy decorative glass
Lead crystal is glass containing lead oxide, which increases its refractive index and makes it sparkle more brilliantly than ordinary glass.
The lead also makes it softer and easier to cut into decorative patterns.
Fine stemware, chandeliers, and decorative objects are often made from lead crystal: She served wine in her grandmother's lead crystal glasses.
