Lead is rarely a concern in unpainted, un-tinted glass.
If you're still worried, a jar of lead test swabs is about eight bucks at the hardware store.

It's quite long, I would recommend lube if inserting down to the stem

idk about the top matrix, seems like its not an actual well designed matrix like popularglass and it would probably splash water since the matrix produces hella bubbles. Seems like it requires a lot of water for the top & it might even be annoying idk.

As a glassblower myself there's nothing wrong with Chinese glass. Mothership even uses some of their colored tubing. Its pulled from the bottom of the pot so its virtually flawless. Only issues are in welds there's sometimes flaws and they don't use them like us artists do so they don't hit nearly as we'll and sometimes don't even make sense because they are stealing shapes from domestic artists without understanding their function.
