Vintage Style Glass Pitcher and Tumbler Sets - Designer Decor
Glass pitcher and tumblers sets are an elegant and creative way to introduce new vibrancy to your tableware collection. Pitchers have been a popular choice for serving beverages throughout history and glass pitchers are especially wonderful because they are available in a wide variety of colors, patterns, and styles so they can coordinate with your existing tableware. Originally pitchers were made out of heavy pottery (or even metal) which was not only difficult construct but didn’t allow users the opportunity to see how much liquid was left in the container. When glass blowing was invented it made it possible to create beautiful transparent large bellied vessels with a handle attached – a task that would have been impossible to cast prior to this.
Glass pitcher and tumblers sets are a beautiful to enhance any table setting. The wide variety of designs, sizes and colors makes them a versatile addition. Unlike plastic pitchers and tumblers which can warp or discolor over time, the color of these pitchers comes directly from natural minerals added to the glass (true colored glass) and the color cannot fade or wash off the glass. Popular colors for these sets include Ruby Red, Amethyst Carnival Glass, Marigold, Vaseline, Cobalt Blue, Crystal Clear, Crystal Opalescent, Emerald Green, and Depression Pink.
Glass pitcher and tumbler sets are produced today – allowing you to incorporate their designs into your collection. It is a simple way to enhance an existing theme or create a whole new design for your table. It is important to remember a few tips when replacing older dinnerware with glassware however. First, some glass pitchers and tumblers do weigh more than plastic pitchers and tumblers so they may too heavy for some family members or friends to handle. Second, it is important to care for your glassware correctly. Glass can break when it is transferred from a cold to a hot environment (example: refrigerator to a dishwasher or filled with hot water).
Glass pitcher and tumbler sets are readily available online as well as in many home magazines. Search for glass construction and be sure to ask questions. Are these items dishwasher safe? Are they available in any other colors? Can more tumblers be purchased separately? When upgrading your tableware collection with glassware you can be sure different patterns and colors will tie themselves together nicely and create a beautiful theme on your table. These pitcher and tumbler sets are available online through LookInTheAttic & Company and they offer free design assistance and help.

The Definition of Lead Crystal Glass
If you know anything about glassware you will have noticed how lead crystal glass is so much more sparkly than plain glass. It seems to magically capture light and shines much more than conventional glass.
Crystal glass, in Europe, means that the glass has a specified higher content of lead. The European Union has defined crystal glass as that containing at least 4% lead in the form of lead oxide. Anything less than this is amount considered as plain glass, not crystal.
It is interesting to note that there is not an internationally agreed standard for crystal glass. In the U.S.A. glass is defined as 'crystal' if it contains as little as 1% lead. In Eastern Europe the term 'crystal' can be misleadingly used to refer to any piece of high quality glassware, regardless of the precise lead content percentage. So beware if you are buying what is described as 'crystal glass' from these sources.
Adding lead to glass, in the form of lead oxide, changes its refractive index. The lead makes the glass significantly heavier, softer and easier to cut and engrave. It's the change in refractive index caused by the lead oxide that makes crystal glass appear to be so much more sparkly and shiny than plain glass.
If you are concerned that the lead in lead crystal glass can leach out into stored beverages you are right to be worried. Storing wines, vinegar, fruit juices or other acidic beverages in lead crystal decanters is not a good idea as lead will migrate into the stored liquid. Regular use of lead crystal is not recommended due to the migration of lead into the beverage, particularly for children or pregnant women.
Lead crystal glass has traditionally been used to make chandeliers because of the way the lead crystal refracts light making the chandelier glisten beautifully. Lead crystal glassware is also always popular for gift items so if you are ever stuck for an idea why not give a beautiful lead crystal decanter or a pair of champagne flutes. You'll be bound to make a great impression.
