An awful lot, considering that first you have to convince Buffet to start making crystal mothpieces, then you have to set up a manufacturing line, get marketing materials together, etc.

Or ...

you could check with mouthpiece makers that provide crystal mouthpieces that work on Buffet, like Pomarico.

Back about fifteen years ago I purchased a crystal mouthpiece which had the Buffet name and mark on it but it was placed on it in ink not engraved. It seemed to throw my intonation off so I gave it to a friend who loves it. He had it in a shop a short while ago and was told that it was made by a maker who made them from glass from Coke bottles. I have not seen another with Buffet on it since then although the store had several at the time.

I have an old crystal Buffet mouthpiece from sometime in the first half of the 1900's (i'm guessing most likely between the 20's and 40's). It has the Buffet logo etched in the glass. A metal tenon cap, and an 8 facing. Also around the end of the tenon cap, it has Buffet Crampon Paris stamped in the metal.

It's a very nice mouthpiece. But it plays a bit flat.
