Crystal angel figurines and lead crystal its self have only been in existence since 1674 when it was patented.
Lead crystal was created by George Ravencroft (an Englishman) by adding lead oxide to a glass composition during its manufacture. This gives our crystal angel figurines a greater “FIRE” or brilliance, sparkle and higher refractive index than any glass ever made previously.
This process softens the glass and makes it very well suited for deep cutting and engraving, and made it possible to create detailed crystal angel figurines. Lead crystal can consist of up to 33% lead; at this percentage it has the most fire and makes the most dazzling of all crystal angel figurines.
