History on the crystal making process from the Cavan website;
The crystal mix – silica sand, potash and litharge are transformed into molten crystal in a huge furnace heated to1200° C.
The glass blowers work around the furnace to create the blank crystal chamber and it’s their talent and experience that will determine the thickness of each piece.
The blown crystal shape needs to be quickly transferred to the annealing oven. This allows the crystal to reach normal air temperature slowly, thereby avoiding stresses caused by rapid cooling, contraction and inevitable breakage. Annealing can take from two hours for a wine glass to about 16 hours for a large sports trophy.
The Blowers leave a blank shape of crystal for the master cutters. A rough geometric guide of the design is marked on the blank, but the ultimate position and depth of cut is rendered by the cutter’s own sight and feel.
