The younger generation sees it as impractical and outdated. But there are those who disagree with this statement. In their opinion, crystal is still ahead.



Previously, not every citizen could afford crystal. Instead of one crystal vessel, you could buy a huge number of products, or even several good books. And then such acquisitions (which often acted as chic gifts) were considered not only a luxury, but also a contribution to the future. After all, crystal glasses, salad bowls and other dishes were intended for special days. It was a holiday when the whole family gathered at the same table.

Observing current trends, rapid price growth and the expected shortage of goods in stores, many representatives of the younger generation will finally understand the love of older people for crystal. Since the purchases made many years ago for the future will finally pay off.



If earlier grandmother's service was perceived as a relic of the past, now for some families it may be the only acceptable alternative to broken dishes. Families will once again start gathering and drinking from crystal glasses, New Year's Olivier will be served in transparent salad bowls. And above the heads will hang a crystal chandelier, whose crystals, when collided, will create a pleasant and so familiar ringing.
