<p>[QUOTE="George Nesmith, post: 127788, member: 177"]Bev I suspect that the glass was pressed and cut enough to meet US import duties. The pieces similar I have seen were that way. It likely was EU crystal ie 24% lead with a hiccen flaw that expanded or contracted with the heat causing the explosion. Might have happed in a hot dish washing pan. As the Croatian area has a glass industry I would be surprised is a resident would be gifting glass made elswhere.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
