Cut Glass is a category of glass that must be approached with care.  The original cut glass is lead glass that has had glass ground away in patterns that increase the beauty of the glass.  In other words, the "real" thing involves a lot of hand work and is expensive. 

As manufacturing processes got better the distinction between hand made and machine made got harder to determine.  Reading Ebay auction listings is normally a good way to quickly learn about a category of collectibles.  However, it doesn't work well for cut glass.  There are way to many "look alikes' and items that include the words "cut" & "Glass".  I looked hard for negative words that would reduced the number of results, without any luck.  

Below are listed some cut glass items for sale now on Ebay.  Clicking on of the links will take you directly to that auction.
