SOME HISTORY:
One of Japan's best-kept secrets is out. Suddenly, the name of Hoya, Japan's premier maker of pure, brilliant crystal, is being granted the respect long given to established names like Baccarat, Waterford, Orrefors, and Steuben, say enthusiastic collectors both here and abroad.
Originally developed right after World War II, this Japanese crystal was introduced to the United States market in the mid 1980's. When New York collectors Joseph and Gussie Justman walked into the gallery on opening day, recalls Mr. Justman, they felt “overwhelmed by the fresh, innovative approach of the Japanese to glassmaking. The quality of the crystal was flawless and the designs were exquisite in their simplicity.''
The glass (with a lead content of 28 to 30 percent) was well known for its purity, clarity, and brilliance.
These flutes are simply wonderful-
