How to Start Collecting Crystal

Hey everyone! I’ve been thinking about starting a small crystal collection—maybe for my bar or dinner table. Any tips on where to begin or what pieces are worth getting first?

Hi! Starting with a few versatile pieces is a great approach—think classic tumblers, wine glasses, or a standout decanter. What makes crystal special is how it blends elegance with everyday use when chosen wisely. Brands like Baccarat, Artel, or Theresienthal offer timeless styles that also feel current. The key is quality over quantity—select pieces that can be used across settings. MDMAISON offers a curated selection of luxury tableware and accessories from those exact brands.
