No, however, newer stained glass utilized non-lead solder, and the lead (PbO, lead oxide) in leaded glass has been replaced more and more by the use of barium oxide, zinc oxide, or potassium oxide. While not banned, lead is used less often today, and the rare lead glass contains 24% PbO or near that amount. It is recommended that any glass suspected of containing PbO should be avoided with food or beverages.
