My understanding is that there is lead crystal which is manufactured with lead and then there is crystal manufactured without it. I think the terminology has become less precise over the years so it might be wise to check.

I've always understood lead is in all crystal glassware, quantity dependant on manufacturer.

I brewed a batch in a crystal jug years ago and it turned tea coloured in a very short time. I assumed electrolysis of the silver interacted with the lead in the crystal? Was always going to repeat the exercise to satisfy myself one way or tuther, but never have.

I DO know that storing or making colloidal silver in lead crystal is not advised. L
