Is the glass in this decanter heat resistant?

In my experience it is heat resistant in the sense that you can pour boiling or near boiling water into this decanter but I have never tried to heat the decanter itself on a range or stove top and don't believe I'd recommend it for that use. However, in its use as a receptacle for a coffee dripper, it works quite well! I might suggest the Hario Kettle if you're looking for a receptacle in which to heat water for use alongside this decanter and the coffee dripper.

I cannot speak for all the sets produced, however, in mine; the stopper has no visible seems. The glasses have a very faint seem that is so well blended into the cuts of the glass it requires close examination to locate them. The decanter also has a seem but it is only faintly visible at the stem and the flare to the body. I suspect the seems had been heat blended into the primary casting to make them so faint. Let me stress to the casual or passing eye it is not noticeable, in fact I never noticed them at all until I specifically went looking for them to answer this question.

It is basically a patented glass that they call vitrelle. I am not sure if it is tempered for heat exposure. They heat up pretty fast and unevenly if you keep them long enough in the microwave. Considering that, I would advise you to not use them in a conventional oven. Not sure what te manufacturer says though.

I was told no...A warning on the back of the box states"Do not apply to the inside surface of any dual,thermal, or low E glass to avoid excess heat absorption and potential thermal stress to the window".But the stuff is very tough and will last years on the exterior.

Yes, re the glass. as far as the cooking...Ours didn't even heat up and we had to return it. We had purchased it for some fundraisers we had coming up and could not get a replacement in time so we didn't try a replacement or another kind.

Yes the glass is tempered that way it can withstand the heat in your fireplace.

No. This piece is very sturdy and heavy duty. The glass are not part of the structural integrity. Feel free to use only one glass.

The unit is two (2) pieces: (1) the decanter, and (2) the base. The base is the heating/electrical connector and should never require cleaning. The decanter holds water to be heater - I use distilled water for making coffee - if all you ever do is heat water, you should never expect to clean the decanter either. You can rinse the decanter, but I wouldn't suspect it should placed in the dishwasher, or submerged completely in sink water.

The glasses were wrapped tight and well but the decanter was shattered. I returned it all. I did not reorder the same set.

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.

The answer from WineCountryLover is correct. I have had this oven for a few months and I would not buy it again. In addition to the flaw mentioned in my previous review, I noticed the glass oven door does not close tightly so heat must be escaping.

Hello, I use this item to make large quantities of tea - I submerge everything except the handle. I don't know how heat resistant that part is, but it seems like it would hold up. Hope that helps!

It is regular ceramic and I doubt it would survive being placed directly on heat without cracking.I don't have ANY trouble with it dripping. Naturally it is important to line the vent hole in the lid away from the "downside" when pouring.

Sorry but I cannot tell if the glass is tempered or not. I'm just cautious and lay my hair styling tools on a heat resistant mat. So far nothing has cracked or shattered.

I think they can withstand heat; just not from cold to hot. I think most glass is like that.

No they have lead in them, but as long as you do not store wine or alcohol in the decanters you will not absorb any lead. Research on line if you feel uncomfortable with my info. I was concerned at first when I new about the lead but my fears were allayed after researching it.

No. It is glass and a great jar. I use it each day to drink cold water or a jar of hot tea.
