Re: Glass Vase |
Posted By: Cal Posted Date: May 22, 2012 (11:09 PM) |
Message This may well be high-lead-content glass, but what Westerners (especially Americans) call "crystal" is a very clear colorless glass, without the blue tint in yours. The high lead content makes molding and fire-polishing easier, since it lowers the glass's melting point. The horse is probably acid-etched rather than 'sand-blasted'. Thanks to rat for the translations. Good luck, Cal Post a Response |
