Lead crystal is a type of glass that contains lead oxide. The addition of lead oxide gives the glass a higher refractive index than regular glass, resulting in enhanced brilliance and sparkle. Lead crystal is often used to make fine glassware, such as wine glasses, decanters, and vases.
One of the key characteristics of lead crystal is its clarity and shine. The lead content allows light to pass through the glass more easily, creating a greater play of light and enhancing the beauty of the objects made from it. This is why lead crystal is highly valued for its aesthetic appeal.
However, it’s important to note that the use of lead in crystal glassware has raised concerns about its potential health hazards. When food or beverages come into contact with lead crystal for extended periods, there is a small risk of lead leaching into them. As a result, it is generally advised to avoid storing acidic or carbonated drinks in lead crystal containers for long periods of time, and to use lead-free alternatives for regular use.
When cleaning lead crystal, it is recommended to hand wash it with mild soap and water, as harsh detergents and high temperatures can potentially damage the glass. Taking proper care of lead crystal can help preserve its beauty and functionality for years to come.
Overall, lead crystal is prized for its elegance and optical qualities, but it is important to be aware of the potential health considerations associated with its use.

We have had the pleasure of enjoying this bottled pop at the local Albert and Walters since it opened its inside to the public after Covid and a renovation.
They have a counter display of 4 packs for $5:99 + return deposit, there is a coupon in the cardboard case for a free buddie burger aas well.
Besides the taste of vintage root beer revived in glass the asthetics and demenour of the experience is potent to many generations including from car hop days under the raised parking roof.
