Fascinating Fun Facts: •Bleikristall is the German term for lead crystal, typically containing 24% PbO (lead oxide) for maximum sparkle and weight. •At 24% PbO, glass meets the European definition of full lead crystal — heavier, more refractive, and easier to cut and polish. •The deep V-shaped grooves you see are called mitre cuts, made by grinding wheels to create sharp light-catching patterns.
