Does pressed glass contain lead?
Pressed glass can contain lead, but it depends on the specific type and manufacturer.

However, many modern pressed glass products are made without lead to comply with safety regulations. It's always best to check with the manufacturer or look for labels indicating whether a product is lead-free.
