Royal Brierley is the only UK manufacturer of fully hand crafted and hand cut lead crystal.

In attempts to imitate nature, man began making glass that was termed crystal by adding metals to change the character of glass and lead was found to be the 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. It also has a curious warmth to the touch, but most of all lead crystal has a brilliant, silver appearance that is enhanced by cutting.
