Bohemian cut crystal – legend tested by the time

Bohemian cut crystal is a traditional Czech glassmaker’s invention. At the end of the 18th century it was found that, thanks to the addition of Lead, glass acquires unique optical properties. Thus was born the Lead cut crystal. For its lightness and beauty, cut crystal is admired and respected throughout the world. Containing 24% of Lead ensures its gorgeous shimmer and high quality.

Lead crystal, especially when hand-cut, has much higher refractive index than the glass has. This ensures its higher refraction and maximum suitability for decorative purposes. Lead cut crystal will brighten up any interior. We carry various colors, shapes and cuts.
