What is the difference between Flint Glass and Crystal?
Flint Glass is pre-civil war glassware with a lead content (see Q and A above). It can be blown or pressed. Crystal was produced after the civil war in Canada and the U.S.A, as well as Europe and Great Britain. It has a greater lead content and is a finer type of glass, making it less durable. It can be molded, blown, cut by hand or machine cut.
