Although crystal cut glass has been around for over 2000 years, true Lead Crystal Cut Glass has only been in existence since the late 17th century. The English glassmaker George Ravenscroft, while searching for a way to improve the luster and clarity of his crystal glassware, found that by adding lead oxide to his molten mixture he could not only improve the clarity of the crystal cut glass but greatly increase the weight. The ability to cut this new lead crystal glass material without fracturing it was a major asset. This discovery created a boom in the lead crystal cut glass industry in Britain, which then spread throughout Europe and later America. In the United States there were over 200 factories producing crystal cut glass by the late 19th century. In those days only the wealthy could afford to own quality crystal cut glass. However, with modern techniques, crystal cut glass is now an affordable luxury that most people can enjoy in it’s various forms. So what type of Crystal Cut Glass appeals to you ?

One thing that makes Japanese swords so much stronger than others is both the high quality iron ore that goes into the steel used to make the finished product, but the skill of the sword smith who produces that blade. The basic technique involved folding the metal over on itself, usually a total of 18 times while red hot. The blade is cooled from time to time which brings the impurities in the blade to the surface, whiile at the same times creatiing layers in the steel, which makes for a blade of incredible strength. Finally, the use of differential heat treating, where the top of the blade is cooled more quickly than the cutting edge causes the blade to curve, and creates an edge that, once sharpened, will probably never need it again.

All of these go into appraisal of a sword, regardless of where it was forged. Appraisers are particularly skilled in recognition of imitation swords, and its a service with a growing need, due to the increasing number of fakes being produced in China and in Pakistan. We offer this service at the Village Vendor, on an appointment basis. We will examine your swoird, and give you an approximate idea of what its worth.

Siddhartha Gautama was the founder of Buddhism and is the figure represented by the Buddha statue. If the hands are resting in the lap this represents meditation. The hands crossing over the chest are a symbol of Dharma-or a state of “being.”

Captured in a classic position of meditation, a traditional Buddha figurine is resplendent in gleaming gold finish and rich burgundy robes trimmed with sparkling gems. The very image of wisdom and serenity! Polyresin. 5 7/8″ x 5 3/8″ x 9 1/4″ high.

Whether your sword is a decorative or fully functional, the basic points of sword care are these:

(1) Oil the blade of the sword periodically; the more humid the environment, the more often the care will need to be done. I use a special sword oil on my own collection, but most oils on the market that have the function of rust prevention can do.

(2) In a damp, humid space inspect the sword on at least a weekly basis. If the sword is a decorative, polish to your heart’s content, because that is what a decorative is made to do, hang on the wall and look good. 440 stainless will polish well.

(3) With a functional, though, especially an antique, you should never polish or sharpen the blade, since these acts can reduce substantially the value of the sword. Functional weapons, also, by the heat treating that they receive in the forging process have excellent edge retention, and should not need sharpening.

(4) Finally, if your sword came with a wooden scabbard, the sword should be kept in the scabbard, especially in damp, humid surroundings. This is to prevent the wood in the scabbard from warping.
