The history of the crystal glass looks back to long past. Masterfully wrought and artistic elaborated crystal glasses, and glass bottles have been produced since the XVI. century.

Gastronomy was already in the ancient times in the centre of interest; it was interpreted as art; that is why the citizens, who were wealthier and took care for the details selected the tools of the eating and drinking with high demand. The cups and glasses were attentive on this field, the tendency:

„Choose the appropriate glass to the occasion/drink”

- remains unchanged until nowadays.

Crystal cup or crystal glass?

 Well, this is a frequently returning question. Basically, we might say, the cup is such a glass type which has a stem as well, while the glass is usually a cylindrical-oval unit. The expression of the stem glass refers to the cup: stem (pes), chalice (cuppa); in Greek poterion, in Latin calix. The crystal glass supply of our company represents a wide range of supply for every type of drinks and occasions. Elegance and the thisness. A crystal glass produced by the Black Crystal represents in every case the highest category, in case of lead crystal or modern crystal glass (lead free crystal).

Our crystal glasses, crystal cups make the festive meals, the important moments more impressive. The whiskey in a crystal glass is very masculin, as the clinking of crystal glasses with champagne makes a romantic dinner unforgettable.

Crystal glasses from Black Crystal

A little history...

Without crystal glasses and the craftsmanship that goes back centuries, they would not have been made. The finest fruits of the knowledge of the creative hands begin with crystal glasses and crystal chalices and lead crystal handicrafts. In our manufactory in Ajka, we have been making unique crystal objects with unbroken enthusiasm for more than 25 years, because we believe that quality has a place on the table.

The developments that have shaped the 21st century have transformed our everyday lives in the blink of an eye, and the tools we use. Our modern objects are short-lived, and it's as if we've resigned ourselves to the fact that what we buy at the mall will inevitably end up in the bin after a few months. As everything is made on an assembly line, it doesn't matter, because the next model is surely on the production line, with a new design, and perhaps at a bargain low price.

Crystal glasses and mass production

Have a look around our online shop, choose from our unique crystal glasses!

The fact that we still produce crystal products to individual orders in Europe in a manufactory way is due to the fact that even today, in this fast-paced 21st century, it is important for many people to drink good red wine not from mass-produced products, not to give a mass-produced product as an anniversary gift to their loved ones.

We have to give it our way, because we are rewarded with the essence of life. Does wine taste different when it comes from a hand-crafted crystal glass rather than a mass-produced bottle? Of course not. But we have a completely different image of ourselves with a fine lead crystal glass in our hands. Because quality, elegance and uniqueness have long been a value in our eyes, and we still feel better when we see our own taste in our objects than when we have to impose on ourselves something that doesn't really fit anyone because it was mass-produced for everyone.

Decorating glassware

We decorate our products - if we are talking about decorated sets - mainly by polishing and engraving.
