Not really.  "Crystal" chandeliers and goblets are made from glass which
has a high percentage of lead oxide in it, and they are quite clear.
I feel nervous about drinking acid solutions containing metal-binding
chelating agents (like red wine) from them, but lead crystal should make
decent screen material.
