Does the base have red glass or is it lined with plastic?

It looks like glass and feels like it too (kind of heavy). Most types of plastic would probably melt from the intense heat.

It is a plastic base. Seems very sturdy and as it just sits there, it seems to do a great job holding the weight of a water filled tank.

it is hard plastic, very durable. I accidently dropped one and shattered the globe but the base was still fully functionable. I think the quality is high enough that it does look like metal

None whatsoever. Both the container and the top are made of glass. I recommend this cruet highly!

I have this lamp and the shade is glass pieces not sure why anyont thought it was plastic and base is medal. It's a very nice lamp 24" high, bigger than most of the other stain glass lamps I have.

No red at all, just a name. The packaging was lousy tho and had on broken glass an one scratched. The glass itself is very nice. Heavy bottomed.

Glass is clear with light color mesh inside. At least, mine is. I assume the photo is misleading.

I think the base is a hard form of plastic. I like them so well I have bought 4 of them for my rental cabins and home. They do in no way look cheap and they look real. The quality is as good as it gets. You will not be disappointed.

it's a cloudy plastic base, not too thick, not too thin & it hasn't cracked, very durable

No it doesn't and when I purchased it, I thought it was glass, however, it's clear plastic.

It is solid plastic mixed with little glass. It feels very solid enough for me not worry about it braking.

No, it is red plastic, and marvelous! Has held up really well. Looks brand new.

Honestly, I can't tell. It doesn't look like plastic though. We've enjoyed it, it is very nice.

The red portion is made of plastic with the gold/bottom being metal. I think the only reason the ratings are lower so far is because people thought they were glass. I think they're a good buy in terms of they are a cool design and they do what you need them to do, hold alcohol =). They're a solid, fun buy. Safer and cheaper to ship as plastic and they won't break if they get dropped or knocked down.

It is clear - very good looking glass. Liquid to go in the feeder is red and in a plastic bottle.

Mine is red. I've had it a year and while it broke off the base and has a crack in the bowl, it's still working well.

The dish is plastic and the lid is solid copper. It does patina a little bit. Doesn't affect its usefulness. It is designed well, just be careful not to abrase the glass against anything, as the red coating will scrape off with use. Keep out of direct sunlight to prevent the red from fading.
