Italian Lead Crystal

Italian lead crystal really means that the crystal contains more lead, about 24% by weight. The high content of lead allows more attractive optical property as the result of a higher reflex index. This heightened refractive index also correlates with increased dispersion, which measures the degree to which a medium separates light into its component spectra, as in a prism.

The addition of lead to glass also lowers its working temperature and increases the viscosity. This allows the use of many techniques including enameling to add colors and glazes, and to remove trapped air bubbles, thus making the class more clear and almost flawless.

Therefore Italian lead crystal ranks at the top in crystal awards in both quality and price. Visual Awards offers 12 Italian lead crystal awards of superb craftsmanship and design. The extraordinary optical reflex of these crystal awards adds that much more elegance and prestige to the occasion and the recipient. Their artistic value further enhances the environment in which the recognition is given and each crystal award will be treasured for a lifetime.

On another note, for safety reasons, because of its lead content, please do not use the Italian crystal awards for food or drinks or in regular contact with children.
