Re: Glass Vase

This may well be high-lead-content glass, but what Westerners (especially Americans) call "crystal" is a very clear colorless glass, without the blue tint in yours.

The high lead content makes molding and fire-polishing easier, since it lowers the glass's melting point.

The horse is probably acid-etched rather than 'sand-blasted'.

Thanks to rat for the translations.

Good luck,
Cal
