Crystal is a term referring to dispensers with transparent heads, either clear or in the normal color of that dispenser. Contrary to the name, the heads are not made of lead crystal, but transparent plastic. Some crystal dispensers, whether clear or colored, have painted features as well.

Example of a yellow crystal Barky Brown dispenser
