{"title":"The Vintage List, Crystal Glassware","description":"\u003cp\u003eFounded in London in 2015 by Henry \u0026amp; Camilla, The Vintage List set out to bring back the engraved crystal glassware they kept finding — and falling for — in English antique markets and salerooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery piece is still made by hand, using a method that has barely changed in 500 years. Molten glass is gathered from the furnace on a blowpipe and blown into a wooden mould; stemware is made in two parts, with the stem shaped separately and joined to the bowl before the glass is cooled and annealed. The crystal itself is fine and lead-free — minerals are added at the furnace stage for strength and clarity, not just looks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly once a glass has been checked for faults does it move to engraving. Each pattern is cut entirely by hand on a fast-turning terracotta wheel, worked freehand against the glass to create the design — on some patterns, cut and then polished in a second pass. It is a skill passed down through generations of artisans and it shows in the finished glass: fine, clear and unmistakably handmade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of it is dishwasher safe, so the vintage character doesn’t come with a “special occasion only” asterisk.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/www.thevoyagedubai.com\/collections\/the-vintage-list-crystal-glassware.oembed","provider":"The Voyage Dubai","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
