Lead crystal is heavier than standard glass due to the presence of lead oxide. A typical Princess House coaster or small bowl may weigh noticeably more than a similar glass item. This added weight gives the pieces a solid feel. The density also contributes to durability. For example, a set of six coasters may weigh over 1 kilogram in total. This weight is often used as a quick way to distinguish crystal from regular glass.
