However, modern clear lead glass also known as crystal was first discovered by Englishman George Ravenscroft, in 1674. He found that by adding lead oxide it greatly improved the appearance of the glass, made it easier to melt and increased the "working period" or time the glass could be shaped,. This made glass crystal easier to manipulate than standard glass allowing craftsman to create much more elaborate and decoratively German beer steins, specialty mugs, collectible cups and other fine crystal drinkware.

  During the 16th and 17th century the English were really the only people making decorative glass and fine crystal beer mugs.
