In attempts to imitate nature, man began making glass that was termed crystal by adding metals to change the character of the glass and lead was found to be most successful of these additives. Lead crystal produces a product with a ringing sound (without the tin quality of ordinary glass), it is strong and durable and it has a curious warmth to the touch. Most of all, lead crystal has a brilliant, silvery appearance that is enhanced by cutting.
