Beyer & Co. - West Germany - 70er - Platter - Candy dish - 35 cm - 2.5 kg - Lead crystal

Beyer & Co. of West Germany produced high-quality lead crystal tableware during the 1970s, a period known for robust and elegant glass designs. A platter serving as a candy dish measuring approximately 35 cm reflects mid-century European crystal craftsmanship, characterized by weighty clarity and intricate cuts to enhance light refraction. Lead crystal contains lead oxide, which increases the glass's weight and sparkle, making pieces like this especially brilliant and desirable. The heavy, tactile quality of such a platter makes it suitable for both decorative display and formal serving occasions. Collectors of vintage European crystal value items from the era for their blend of traditional techniques with contemporary aesthetics of the time.
