Production of widespread use objects such as glasses and bowls continued, but glassblowers were also experimenting, generating some lavish objects that we would now call glass art. The glass was augmented with inlays of gold and brilliant colours, increasing its beauty. A lot of of these vessels had been utilised to hold rare and highly-priced ointments, perfumes and cosmetics.

Lead in glass, specifically Champagne flutes?
I bought some champagne glasses that have stickers that read:
"Garanti plus de 24% PbO. Genuine Lead Crystal. France"
Should I be concerned? Isn't lead a bad thing to have in drinking glasses?
According to the website that I have sourced that the lead crystals give the glass a smoother and more sparkle making the glass look better. It also says that the lead cannot be removed by the substance in the glass (wine or champagne) as it is not in the glass long enough. So I guess if you leave wine in the glass for a few days it might start extracting the lead but then why would you drink wine or champagne that's been siting in the same glass for a few days. So in theory its safe and exceeds EPA standards.
