The makers of the glass do not need to say the % of lead content if it's under 39%

If it doesn't have lead it's pyrex.

Lead makes the glass flow.
Um, ok...


There's some pretty sound information on the glass alchemy website:
www.glassalchemyarts.com

Here's a handy number (quote) "If you are working with lead-containing glasses for food or beverage applications, the International Crystal Federation (phone 202-342-8400) can be a valuable source of information and guidelines."
