<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 91551, member: 44&quot;]<font face="Tahoma">Yes, interesting. Would love to know more about whether lead or not.</font></p><p><font face="Tahoma"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Tahoma">1. The comment section on the &quot;Longchamp&quot; wines selling on Amazon says: &quot;This is made from a product they are calling &quot;Diamax&quot;, which is a type of glass, not lead crystal.&quot;</font></p><p><font face="Tahoma"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Cristal-dArques-Longchamps-Stemware-Glasses/dp/B0006LP9QS" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.amazon.com/Cristal-dArques-Longchamps-Stemware-Glasses/dp/B0006LP9QS" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Cristal-dArques-Longchamps-Stemware-Glasses/dp/B0006LP9QS</a></font></p><p><font face="Tahoma"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Tahoma">2. The actual &quot;Longchamp&quot; flutes selling on Amazon titles them:<font face="Georgia"><font size="4"> <font face="Verdana">&quot;Cristal D&#039;arques Diamax Longchamps Crystal Champagne Flute.&quot; Says in the following that Diamax was used since 2010:</font></font></font></font></p><p><font face="Tahoma"><font size="4">&quot;Diamax is a revolutionary new material developed by Arc International in 2010. An environmentally friendly material with exceptional qualities of purity, brilliance and resilience. Long after the first use, Diamax will add sparkle to your table and a daily dash of brightness to your home.&quot;</font></font></p><p><font face="Tahoma"><font size="5"><font size="4"><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003VM7M3W?tag=petetdavi&amp;creativeASIN=B003VM7M3W" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003VM7M3W?tag=petetdavi&amp;creativeASIN=B003VM7M3W" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003VM7M3W?tag=petetdavi&amp;creativeASIN=B003VM7M3W</a></font></font></font></p><p><font face="Tahoma"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Tahoma">3. &quot;Longchamp&quot; on replacements.com doesn&#039;t mention lead crystal nor does it mention diamax with this pattern. They only say: &quot;Clear, Cut&quot;</font></p><p><font face="Tahoma"><a href="http://www.replacements.com/webquote/CRALON.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.replacements.com/webquote/CRALON.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.replacements.com/webquote/CRALON.htm</a></font></p><p><font face="Tahoma"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Tahoma">4. Cristal D&#039;Arques pattern &quot;Lovely&quot; on replacements.com calls it: &quot;Luminarc, Diamax, Cut Heart..&quot;</font></p><p><font face="Tahoma"><a href="http://www.replacements.com/webquote/CRALOV.htm#10300891" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.replacements.com/webquote/CRALOV.htm#10300891" rel="nofollow">http://www.replacements.com/webquote/CRALOV.htm#10300891</a></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Tahoma">5. Then there is this auction on Etsy for four flutes from 1978 showing the box saying 24% lead crystal like Rhi... said. You can actually see on the box at the bottom left corner a gold circle with &quot;24%.&quot;</font></p><p><font face="Tahoma"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/247906403/4-crystal-champagne-glasses-flutes?ref=market" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/247906403/4-crystal-champagne-glasses-flutes?ref=market" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/247906403/4-crystal-champagne-glasses-flutes?ref=market</a></font></p><p><br /></p><p>If all the above links are correct, then I suppose it would mean they were lead crystal if made before 2010???</p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Verdana">--- Susan</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
