Broughton Flute, Single

A narrow clear tube on a long stem, with a frill of fine ribbing at the waist.

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 clear, cylindrical bowl rises from a finely cut, vertically ribbed section above a slender stem. The round foot is flat and wide. The piece is colorless and clean, with sharp reflections along the sides. It is 10 inches high and 2 in diameter.

A simple tube with a single, tasteful flourish.
