This really is a unique and fascinating paint, the addition of leaded ground glass creates more visual depth than a 'normal' white. The glass has the same refractive index as oil which makes the paint semi-transparent, unusual for a white and a very useful quality. Lots of body to it as you would expect.
This type of white was used by Rembrandt, the leaded glass has been seen in microscopic analysis of the white paint layers in his work...really I can't think of a better endorsement than that!
Rublev's description;
Crystal White is a semi-transparent white composed of lead white and leaded crystal glass in walnut oil. The finely powdered glass gives this white novel refractive appearance in mixtures with other colours. It also provides a slight siccative effect."
