The expertise of the glassmaker brings out the natural beauty inherent in lead crystal glass. When properly cut by an experienced craftsman it possesses a fantastic ability to refract light into the colour components of the spectrum with a diamond-like brilliance. Just look at a deeply cut lead crystal vase in a sunlit window and enjoy the show! The brilliant colours of refracted rays passing through the glass are incredible!
The beauty of crystal glass is not just visual - there's a tremendous pleasure in simply holding and using fine, hand made lead crystal. The weight of the glass and the pure tone of its ring also add greatly to our pleasure as we enjoy fine wines, drinks and spirits. The creation of genuine lead crystal glass is the work of highly skilled craftsmen. Without them this outstanding glassware would cease to exist
