Is this glass or crystal? Crystal contains lead and esp. acidic liquids (lemon juice) will leach that into what you drink

When I contacted the manufacture of another beverage container they make similar to this one they said it had lead in it. And said it was safe for food?

The seller's (Amazon) description of this product is: "Godinger Chapel Hill 2.5 gal. Glass Beverage Dispenser". Because they refer to it as such, I believe it's glass.Please let me know if you find out differently!! Thanks!

As stated in the description these glasses are made from 24% lead crystal. There is also a link to California Proposition 65 warning for lead exposure.

I don't believe it is lead crystal, but it is quite thick crystal. I want to say it was made in Romania, but I can't remember for certain. Having not given you definite answers, I will say it is lovely! It is heavier than expected and the bees on the glass were a nice touch. Everyone that comes in my kitchen comments on how pretty it is. I am VERY pleased with the purchase, and if it should break tomorrow, I would be ordering another! Hope this helps.

Sorry Ozzie. I've been out of the country. It is my understanding that this is leaded crystal. A very nice piece and good value, it joins others in our collection.

Hi Patricia, the glass has been 3rd party tested for lead and other harmful contaminants according to California's Proposition 65. All samples tested, passed with less than .100 micrograms per milliliter for lead content. Hope this was helpful!

It is NOT lead free. I ordered this for my boyfriend and with further research we learned that you should NOT store alcohol in products with lead in them because over time the alcohol will absorb the lead. We returned this product for that reason. I am going to reorder a set made of glass.

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 could not tell you as it is not Glass. These are supposed to be questions about Glass. Sorry.

When I bought this decanter it did state that it is made of 'lead crystal'. There was no accompanying literature in the package; however I sincerely doubt that any 'lead' would leach our of the crystal and taint the whisky or taint it's flavor.I think it it a fine piece.

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.

This is a canning jar made of glass not leaded crystal. Since the jar is made of glass and BPA is a chemical element in plastic, I would suspect there is no BPA in plastic. The jar does have a rubber seal at the lid, but it doesn

The crystals are glass. They are good looking and nicely faceted. They are not hand cut leaded crystal, but at the price this fixture looks great. I use a lower wattage build in a cool tone and that really makes it look it's best. Get it you'll be happy with it.

Absolutely--It's solid glass. I'd probably avoid dish detergent that's labeled "lemon" because that can make any glass cloudy.

I would not think that they contain lead. They were not made in a third world country. I love the glasses. Brings back memories of the ones we used while I was growing up.

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.

Stop washing your crystal in the dishwasher. One drop of suds, wipe, rinse, air dry. Have pity on the poor glass!
