Crystal glass contain lead.
Some glass has lead in it, specifically crystal glass. The lead acts as a flux in glass, allowing the grains of silica sand to be melted at a lower temperature. Glasses are generally denoted by their flux, so you get soda glass, flint glass, borosilicate glass, lead crystal etc. Lead also lends crystal the attribute of a high refractive index, making it a very clear glass and also soft. It can be easily cut with designs and polished. George Ravenscroft developed the first viable lead glass.

Glass crystal, also known as lead crystal, is a type of glass that contains lead oxide which gives it increased clarity and brilliance. It is often used to create high-quality glassware such as fine crystal glassware, chandeliers, and decorative items. Glass crystal is valued for its exceptional light-refracting properties and luxurious appearance.
Yes, crystal glass can have bubbles in it. These bubbles are usually a result of the glass manufacturing process and can vary in size from tiny air pockets to larger bubbles that may affect the clarity of the glass.
One way to differentiate between crystal and glass is by examining the clarity and density of the material. Crystal is typically clearer and denser than glass. You can also consult with a professional appraiser or jeweler for a more accurate identification.

Most of the time it will. Good crystal always will. You can tell crystal from glass by lightly tapping the side of the glass, vase, or item. When you do this you will get a ringing sound from crystal and a "thump" sound from glass.
