Keep your Eye on Quality...
All clear glass is crystal! The difference in quality (and price) has to do with how it is formed, finished and decorated.
Inexpensive glass is molded. Liquid glass is injected into steel molds. The least expensive product will show a line on two sides of the item where the two sections of mold come together. Molded product may also be finished by removing and polishing the seam left by the mold joint. Molded glass will usually contain "flow" marks in the glass that are characterized by a "wavy" appearance that cannot be removed in the finishing process. Clarity may also vary considerably depending on the ingredients used to produce the glass.
