Hello. Can you tell me if the container is made of plastic or glass?

Plastic. I guess this is the reason you shouldn't put it in the dishwasher, which is one negative about it; my house is old and the kitchen is not ultra modern with deep sinks and pullout spigots, so the container is too tall to set under the faucet and fill with water without causing back-flow into the line. I find the container hard to clean or soak. I had the 1980 vita mix that was smaller and metal container -- it went into the dishwasher fine; I wish they'd bring that back!

The container is a high impact plastic, not glass. It is pretty tough. I have dropped it many times and it has never broken. (:

Not so sure about it. But the plastic container is PP material, I think it's quite safe.

It's plastic. Looks like glass from a casual glance. The ball fits pretty snugly once inside too.

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

Only the lids are plastic. The containers are glass! WE are very happy with our purchase!

It's made of plastic I thought it was glass by the description and the price

Plastic and after several months use, I'm very pleased with it. My coffee and wine (later purchase) both stay very fresh after opening the original container. I'm sure the plastic is better than glass would be for this product. One big factor is breakage. You must, must, must keep the gaskets around the rim clean and free of everything for best performance. Happy New Year, Hal

It absolutely seems like glass to me. If it is plastic, I can't tell the difference. I'm not going to throw it to find out though. :)

It is a plastic. However it is better made than the rectangular containers which do tend to crack. So far I have had not any problems after three month of heavy use.

Not plastic. Glass but very fragile be careful washing them. I broke one wiping two hard.

The one I ordered last week was glass. Before that it was plastic. Seems to be luck of the draw...

Glass. Definitely glass. If you get this as a gift, make sure the person you give it to knows this. I got this for my father and he held it with one hand, thinking it was plastic. He didn't have the globe aligned properly and it fell, shattering into shards next to where he sat.

Its plastic, but not hard plastic; little flexible. I usually prefer glass; but I liked this one. You can carry it much lighter than glass jar.

It's plastic , and the green paint on the container flakes easily. You can look for a Mason Glass Jar that will fit into it for replacement if you like.

Plastic. Nobody these days has the "balls" to sell the glass ones we grew up with. Remember the metal Lawn Jarts?? :)
