I can so relate! I'm a fan of crystal too!
Some of my earliest memories are drinking milk out of one of my mum's "fancy glasses" (she has an amazing selection of Webb, Stuart & Edinburgh crystal).
As an adult, I have always used my crystal (and china). I don't believe in having them just to look at. I figure what's the point in having it locked in a cabinet, only to have my kids flog it when I'm gone, because it's not the style/pattern they would choose for themselves. I chose it because I like it, so I use it & enjoy it. Sure a few glasses have broken over time, but I think of all the times I've enjoyed using them. I say take your glasses out of the closet, pour yourself a glass of wine and ENJOY!
Cheers!
