Lead crystal --discovered by George Ravenscroft in 1676 -- is lead glass that has
been hand or machine cut with facets. Lead oxide added to the molten glass gives
lead crystal a much higher index of refraction than normal glass, and
consequently much greater "sparkle". The presence of lead also
makes the glass softer and easier to cut.
