When comparing glass to crystal, glass requires less material to produce, making it more affordable for consumers; crystal is a type of glass that contains strengthening minerals such as lead oxide, potassium carbonate, and silica to make the material more durable. The added strength enables the crystal to be molded into thin and delicate shapes.
Part of the reason crystal is more expensive than glass is also because its craftsmanship is more elegant and refined. The added ingredients create a slightly more porous texture, which has a better ability to refract light.
Regarding the rim of the glass, generally the glass material is thicker, and the edge of the glass mouth will be thicker; crystal glass ensures the taste when tasting wine, and the rim of the glass will be very thin.
In terms of feel, crystal glass looks thin and light but still has a nice feel, which is significantly different from ordinary glass which looks thick but feels like plastic when picked up.
If you have the opportunity, you are welcome to visit the store, clink glasses gently, and listen carefully to the unique resonance sound when the crystal glasses touch each other.
