In this article we will focus on two main questions to get a deep understanding about the characteristics of crystal glassware and learn how to tell the difference between crystal glass and general glass.

Is crystal glass the same as high borosilicate glass

First of all the answer of this question is No. They are not the same stuff even they look like similarly. If the product detail list of your glass bottle or cup or something else is labeled as high borosilicate then it is made of borosilicate glass rather than crystal glass.

High boron glass is lead free and safe and stable with high strength and heat resistance.Now the things in our kitchens like glass pot,glass plate and so on that we commonly used are all made of high boron glass.

Crystal glass was made by boiling silicon and lead oxide together in the early period. Because lead is poisonous,it is basically replaced by other materials,such as potassium oxide,barium oxide,etc. However,adding lead can make the crystal look more transparent and brighter,so many manufacturers still use lead as a kind of raw material,but it is mostly used in industry,decoration and other business.

If there is a glass cup at your hand you can knock to listen,if it sounds crispy and there is a metal impact after the aftermath of the feeling of surroundings,that is crystal!
