A Cut Above ... Scape for Cheers

Crystal may be described as something which is full of of light. They exist in every style and are thus timeless in their elegance. Possessing objects of crystal, from chandeliers to champagne flutes, is a symbol of luxury. Crystal is a little more than just enhanced glass - it adds sparkle & can create a vintage look and is somewhere between reality and fantasy.

Numerous stories have been told in history of how kings, emperors, tzars, maharajas and aristocrats ordered and spent, to own best and the costliest crystal objects, to adore and cherish. Over the years Crystals have become delightful art objects in the decoration of homes. It has been created and designed in various forms that stay closely in touch with the current era. Crystal table wares embossed, etched and cut give a fine finishing touch to any place & setting

Caring for your stored crystal ware collection


 - Store crystal pieces 'right side up (stem down) to help protect the delicate rims


 - Always give crystal breathing space in the storage area, since glasses expands in hot temperatures, the extra space will prevent, the pieces from touching one another and possibly getting damaged.


 - Wash crystals in lukewarm water.


 - Add vinegar to the rinse water to keep your precious crystal brilliant and spot free


 - Avoid twisting glasses from the base as this can break the piece.
