A little about Crystal and what constitutes lead crystal
The inclusion of at least 24% lead oxide in the composition is required by law for crystal to be called full lead crystal. The lead lends brilliance and weight to the product. Crystal without lead is still crystal, i.e. clear glass, however, it is more commonly perceived as "glass". The lead also make the crystal softer and more conducive to cutting. This is why the lead crystal is cut and for the most part, the unleaded crystal is not cut.
NOTE ABOUT AIR BUBBLES IN THE GLASS: Please note that air bubbles in crystal and glass are a natural outcome of the mouthblowing process and are not defects unless they are on the surface. "
