Alexander, can you send me a scan of the picture please. My email is on the left. My paperweights seem to be lead crystal, just in uranium!

Christine:  any glass (vaseline or otherwise) that is deep cut (not just wheel cut on the surface) is going to be leaded glass.  The soda-lime formula is just to brittle to cut it.
