Broughton Flute, Single

Straight-sided and slender, with a fluted collar like a tiny pleated skirt.

This Broughton flute in lead crystal by Ralph Lauren is by Ralph Lauren. Lead crystal contains lead oxide, which makes the glass heavier and more brilliant, and it gives a clear ring when lightly tapped. A tall clear flute with a plain cylindrical top, a short ring of vertical fluting and a thin, tapering stem. A broad circular foot sits flat beneath. The piece is clear and free of any color or visible flaw. It is 10 inches high and 2 in diameter.

It stands tall, and the ribbing keeps it grounded.
