However, there are also some cheap glass products that may be toxic. So what glass products are toxic?

Colorful glass products may look beautiful, but they often contain harmful elements such as lead, chromium, picks, nickel, copper, manganese, and other heavy metals. This type of glass is commonly used in industrial fields, and if used in daily life, it can pose a threat to health.

2、 How to choose high-quality glassware blood

There are many types of glassware on the market, and to choose high-quality glassware, you can start from three aspects: material, thickness, and appearance:

1. The material should be pure

Impurity glassware is characterized by patterns (stripes appearing on the surface of the glass body), bubbles (small voids formed by wrapping air in the glass body), and sand (white granular silica sand embedded in the glass body without melting). These three conditions indicate that the glass material is impure and it is not recommended to purchase.

2. The thickness should be consistent

The distribution of glass materials in each part should be uniform, and the glass exposed container can be observed under light. If the light perception is consistent and integrated in all parts, it indicates that the thickness is consistent. Also, it should be noted that the thickness of glass tea sets can be thinner, while the thickness of glass wine sets can be thicker

3. Standard appearance

The surface is not smooth, there are cold mold marks on the mechanism, controlled materials and air eye marks on the blown glass are all manifestations of non-standard appearance. The four non-standard glassware are not only unattractive but also easy to damage. When purchasing, you can observe the light and pay attention to the shape and style of the glassware blood.
