The distinction is that Moser pieces are made of a lead-free hard crystal and are all handpolished, while aforementioned glass has a 10% lead content and is acidpolished. Although purists insist on handpolishing, for most glass lovers there is no visible difference. If anything, acid-polishing makes the surface look even more perfectly finished than handpolishing. An additional factor is a price: If you adore Moser glassware but can't afford it, you should consider crystal pieces that carry the company label with an upturned "C" in the shape of a goblet. The present collection comprises valuable hand made decorative and utility crystal glass with a design for the third millenium.
