Champagne Sparkle
The Definition of Lead Crystal
If you know anything about glassware you will have noticed how lead crystal glass appears to glisten and sparkle so much more than plain glass. It seems to magically capture and reflect light, glistening so much more than conventional glass.
Crystal glass, in Europe, means that the glass has a specified higher content of lead. The European Union have said that for glass to be defined as lead crystal it must have at least 4% of lead in the form of lead oxide. Anything less than this is amount considered as plain glass, not crystal.
It is worth noting that there is not yet an internationally agreed standard for lead crystal glass. In the U.S.A. glass is defined as ‘crystal’ if it contains as little as 1% lead. In Eastern Europe the term ‘crystal’ can be used to refer to any piece of high quality glassware, regardless of the lead content. So beware if you are buying ‘crystal’ from these sources.
Adding lead to glass, in the form of lead oxide, changes its refractive index. The lead makes the glass noticeably heavier, softer and easier to cut and engrave. It’s the change in refractive index caused by the lead content that makes crystal glass appear to be so much more sparkly than plain glass.
If you are worried that the lead in lead crystal can leach out into stored beverages you are right to be concerned. Storing wines, vinegar, fruit juices or other acidic beverages in lead crystal decanters for any long period of time is not a good idea as lead will migrate into the stored beverage and end up being consumed. Regular use of lead crystal is not recommended for these reasons, particularly for children or pregnant women.
Lead crystal glass is traditionally used to make chandeliers due to the way the lead crystal refracts light making the chandelier glisten beautifully. Lead crystal glassware is also always popular for gift items so if you are ever stuck for an idea why not give a beautiful lead crystal decanter or a pair of champagne flutes. You’ll be bound to make someone very happy.
