Do old decanters contain lead?
1 Answer
Yes, old decanters may contain lead if they are crystal. Until the passage of regulations in the 1960s, many manufacturers used crystal that was 32 percent lead or more. As a result, decanters made from the crystal are generally not safe to use to store spirits. On 1stDibs, find a collection of decanters.
