Fine crystal is a glass made with a lead content which constitutes at least 18% of its make-up. Finer quality crystal pieces will range up to, in some instances beyond 24% lead. The quality of the piece is in the skill of the artisan who creates the work of art.

With vases, pitchers, and stemware, fine crystal should be just that, fine cut crystal. Avoid crystal products which are poorly polished or over-polished. The last thing you want for your fine crystal is to have a rough surface or poor detail. Store fine crystal in a cupboard leaving a little room between each piece. Never store your fine crystal upside down, this may cause the fragile lip of the glasses to crack.
