Are these glasses lead free?

Probably lead free. From the Bormioli Rocco 2013 catalog there is no reference to any leaded glass. Bodega is taged "Tempered Glass - With more than 50 years of tempering experience, Bormioli Rocco creates products with an outstanding resistance to mechanical and thermal shock. In the tempering process, glass molecules join together as the glass is rapidly cooled from over 600C to room temperature in a few seconds, thereby creating a toughened glass that maintains its attributes for the entire life of the glass. Usage does not reduce its strength. Bormioli Rocco's tempered glass is 2.5 times more resistant to mechanical and thermal shock than nontreated glass."

No idea. I would check with the manufacturer. I don't know if any plants are still using lead in the manufacture of glass.

No, they are not. There are some comments about lead in the ratings section, but if I recall correctly, they're some minimal amount (around 5%, which is lower than what you'll find in most European crystal products). You still shouldn't store the alcohol in them for the long-term, but long enough for drinks and washing? They should be good! (I love my set! Very attractive!)

I checked their website and it says all of their glazes are lead free. One should expect that since they are a domestic producer of food safe containers they would be compliant with US law.

I'm no expert, but I believe that most clear glass products, which these are, are lead free. The only exception I know of is products known as "lead crystal," and that is labeled as such and is usually very expensive. Lead crystal is decorative crystal and not usually found in products such as mugs. If they did have lead, they would have to be labeled as such to be sold in California. That is my best guess.

No, I have used it and it just glass. No lead. I would not buy if it did. A friend of mine bought in a store years ago.....he had no issues with lead. I just happen to find it on Amazon.

The packaging indicates that they are lead free. However, I have not yet used them in food preparation, so I cannot say. I urge you to contact the seller with your question.

I did not make sure they didn't have lead. I was A assuming since they were a major brand, Anchor Hocking, they wouldn't have lead based paint. They really cute

I do not believe that they are lead based. They don't have the same softness as lead.

I assume so. Honestly, I just can't imagine that they'd have lead in them. They are a very quality products & absolutely beautiful. I love them!! I would never knowingly have anything that had lead in the glass to drink out of, of course. This is seemingly an extremely high quality way that the color is made into the glass itself, so there is no paint flaking issues like other brands or products have had.

I don't think they are lead. Here is what Nakpunar says about their jars...the jars we sell have special BPA free lids and you can use them for foods. They can also be waterbath for the jams.Apr 22, 2014 by Nakpunar

I was worried about lead too. I was just told a lot of glassware has lead, Cadmium or Barium Oxide so I am trying to change my dinnerware and glassware to something safe. Did you try contacting the company to see if their product is free of these items? thanks

Yes, it is lead free. Leaded crystal must disclose that it contains lead. This is not marked as containing lead, and Royal Doulton confirms that it is lead free, which makes it safe for storing and drinking alcohol. The decanter has a thick, solid base for stability, and has the weight and clarity expected of quality crystal.

Lead free yes. as for the other I don't know. Also I love my granite ware and wouldn't use anything else

If it were lead free, it would be glass. Lead infused with glass is what makes crystal.

As far as I know yes. Did some research and these are suppose to be lead free

On the Grosche website, they only mention that it is borosilicate glass, just as Amazon indicates. I do not know if that means it is lead-free, though. I recommend emailing them at sales@grosche.ca to verify.

The blue is mixed inside the glass itself..they are great, keep your drink really cool for a long time. I believe they are lead free...
