How the Dishes are Made from Crystal

For nearly three centuries, crystal continues to be one of the most popular materials for artists. This is due to unique optical properties of crystal. Working with this stone hard. Glassblower gets experience, giving him the opportunity to create true masterpieces, works of art, only after many years of hard work. You must have the talent and the ability to feel the crystal. Crystal quickly freezes. This is the main difficulty of working with glass. Figure on a crystal stemware applied by hand as many centuries ago. Each master of crystal has trade secrets, allowing not distorting a single line to transmit a picture with great accuracy. Volumetric image is often applied to the crystal stemware collection. In the beginning created the sketch work. In this case, the designer must identify some form of sharp lines and future product made of crystal. This sketch will be slightly modified and adjusted during the casting and molding. Drawing has always applied to the finished product made of crystal.

Wonderful effect is created by a combination of metal and crystal. There is very important respect the proportions of these materials so that they complement each other in perfect harmony. Often, crystal stemware is complete with metal parts. For the manufacture of metal parts, first use of wax forms. They are made using the vacuum to specially prepared wax-injection facilities of a special jeweler's wax. When the model is complicated, then uses multiple wax models, and then collected into a single model. To get on the metal completely accurate impression of the wax model, a special unit for forming. In the vacuum of preparing molding sand from a dry mix with water. Schedule heating and cooling temperatures and the schedule of quantities up for each stemware. When parts are cast metal products, they begin to process the streams of water and steam under a certain pressure. For this action should be hand machining. After that produce silver-plating. This way of processing the metal gives an opportunity to make really beautiful and original crystal stemware.
