Lead crystal sterling silver Topped Sugar Dredger with traditional cut pattern
Height 170mm

Lead crystal is blown glass, but, because of its thickness it needs a team of four to seven artists who are well coordinated as any team of athletes. After the glass has been in the furnace, the cooled crystal is now a 'blank canvas' for the glass cutter.

To prepare for cutting, the pattern is drawn on the vessel, usually with red lead turpentine. The cutters are true artists who use sight, feel, phsical strength and their extraordinary memory for patterns, details and cuts.
