Definitely lead crystal Gilead, I remember it saying that on the box when I bought it.  The shop it came from sold stuff from all over the place including the Hofbauer Byrdes glassware from Germany.

Princess House could well be right. I had a look on replacements.com and there's a similar patterned piece there: http://www.replacements.com/webquote/PHC776.htm - see what you think. It may be worth sending a pic to replacements and asking if it is the same pattern.
