What is Crystal Glassware Made From?

Crystal glassware is, well, obviously made from glass. However, there are a few things that set it apart. Unlike most other types of glass, crystal glassware is made using lead oxide and other materials. What is the point of this? Well, the lead oxide helps make the glass much more durable. This makes it possible for glassmakers to make thin, dainty-looking glassware that is actually surprisingly durable.
