In today's pursuit of high-quality life, crystal glassware has become the choice of many consumers to improve their taste of life with its bright luster and exquisite texture. Among them, crystal glass sets and crystal glass red wine glasses are particularly popular. Whether it is for daily drinks or entertaining guests, they can add a touch of elegance to the dining table. However, there are a lot of crystal glasses on the market. How to distinguish whether a crystal glass is real crystal? Today, as a professional manufacturer of household glassware, XINGHUO GLASS, is here to reveal the secret for everyone. Observe the ingredients The main components of real crystal glass are silicon dioxide and lead oxide. The presence of lead oxide gives crystal glass unique optical properties and texture. Generally speaking, the higher the lead oxide content, the higher the refractive index of the crystal glass, and the brighter the luster. High-quality crystal glassware can contain up to 24% or even higher lead oxide. However, lead oxide is a heavy metal compound, and long-term contact or ingestion may cause harm to human health, such as affecting the nervous system and blood system. Therefore, "lead-free crystal glass" came into being. This type of product usually replaces lead oxide with other substances, such as potassium oxide and barium oxide, which reduces the potential threat to human health while ensuring certain optical properties and texture. Ordinary glass products, on the other hand, mainly contain silicon dioxide, with no or only a very small amount of lead oxide, which is significantly different from crystal glass in gloss and texture. Therefore, checking the labeling of ingredients in the product description is a way to preliminarily determine whether the crystal glass is real crystal. View the exterior Transparency: Crystal glass has extremely high transparency. A real crystal glass can clearly see through objects under light without obvious deformation. Hold the crystal glass against light or natural light and observe the transparency of the cup. If the cup is clear and transparent without any turbidity or impurities, it is likely to be real crystal glass. Cups made of ordinary glass often have poor transparency and may have tiny bubbles or impurities that affect the visual effect. Glossiness: The glossiness of crystal glass is its charm. The gloss of crystal glass is soft and layered, and it will show different degrees of brilliance when viewed from different angles. After the crystal glass red wine glass is filled with red wine, due to its high refractive index, the color of the red wine will be more charming. When the light passes through the glass and the red wine, it refracts a gorgeous brilliance. In contrast, the gloss of ordinary glass is relatively single and lacks this kind of smart brilliance. Knock and listen Gently tapping a crystal glass with your fingers is another interesting way to distinguish between real and fake crystal. Real crystal glass will make a clear, long sound when tapped, and the lingering sound is like a beautiful musical note. This is because the density of crystal glass is high, and the sound can resonate well when it propagates through it. The sound of ordinary glass is dull and short, without that kind of crisp and pleasant echo. When choosing a set of crystal glasses, you may wish to tap each glass one by one to feel the difference in sound and enjoy this unique identification process. Touch Texture Touching a crystal glass with your hands, you will find that real crystal glass feels cool and has a smooth and delicate texture, just like touching ice. This is because crystal glass has a high thermal conductivity and can quickly absorb the heat from your hands. When you touch ordinary glass, the temperature change is relatively unnoticeable and the texture is slightly rough. When you pick up a crystal glassware, this unique cool touch will give you a more intuitive feeling of its quality. Through the above identification methods from the aspects of composition, appearance, sound and texture, I believe that everyone will be more comfortable in choosing crystal glasses.
