Ravenscroft Crystal is a manufacturer of handmade, lead-free crystal for fine wine and spirits.

Ravenscroft Crystal has a modern understanding of how the composition and shape of a wine glass can significantly enhance the tasting experience. Their designs are developed out of the deepest respect for great wine, are hand crafted.Each style is the result of thousands of years of glass making trial-and-error, and is individually crafted to enhance both the bouquet and taste of the wine or spirit for which it was made. Ravenscroft’s delicate, light to the touch, and perfectly formed stemware control the bouquet and deliver the essence of the wines and spirits to the proper zones of the palate.

"Pure, Clean Crystal" Over the past four decades, the world of wine has experienced a renaissance in the development of wine and spirits glass design. Most recently, it was discovered that lead in glasses and decanters presents an unacceptable exposure to hazardous toxins. Long-term storage in leaded decanters can result in lead leaching into the contents. The most significant reason lead oxide is added to glassware is to aid in the manufacturing process. Despite increasingly stronger industry warnings, several of the world’s top stemware manufacturers continue to use lead in their stemware production. Lead-free glassware is the future, and the future has already begun with Ravenscroft, the world’s leading manufacturer of pure, clean, lead-free crystal for fine wine and spirits.
