<p>[QUOTE="George Nesmith, post: 613230, member: 177"]I notice that you are calling this "flint glass" which it is not. Im the USA flint is used to refer to glass with lead content in the formula which this does not. Makers called colorless glass crystal which caused the confusion for todays collectors as the EU calls glass with lead content crystal. The sure way to check is with a short wave UV light. If I were you I would use colorless or clear in the description and not mention flint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
