What is Princess House crystal made of?

Princess House crystal often contains lead oxide, typically around 24%, which classifies it as full lead crystal. This composition gives the glass extra clarity and weight. Lead crystal has been used in Europe since the late 17th century, with England playing a major role in its development. The 24% lead content improves light refraction, creating a sparkling effect when cut patterns catch the light. Many Princess House items, such as bowls and coasters, display this brilliance. The added weight also gives the pieces a more solid feel compared to standard glass. This material choice helped the brand build its reputation for quality.
