Is there an additive added in the glass? Plastic? Or cilicone? No lead but what additive is there? Thanks.

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

I don't believe there to be any additives. These are heavier base glasses, and quite comfortable to hold, and we use them in everyday use. As far as I can determine, they are pure silica glass.

Certainly, I am not the manufacturer so obviously, only the manufacturer can give you a true answer to your question. However, I do know the teapot is made from borosilicate glass and to the best of MY knowledge, borosilicate glass does not contain lead. It is widely used in lab equipment. BTW.. the company Grosche that manufacture the teapots is from Canada. I strongly suggest you contact them directly at sales@grosche.ca to get a reliable answer.

It is lead crystal. Lead is used to be able to cut the designs in cystal. If it was smooth glass it would likely be lead free.

We continue to proactively test our products for lead and other toxic metals, with the results continuing to come back favorably. Lead is not an additive in the Crock-Pot slow cooker ceramic glaze. We are diligent in our efforts to ensure that our products are compliant with applicable regulations regarding the presence of lead.

As far as I know there's no lead, it's cosmetic grade. I made homemade sunscreen from pinterest recipe & so far I love it.

As far as I know, lead is not in glass, usually it's in paint. When I buy ceramics from Mexico, they actually say "lead free" on the bottom. Glass is made from sand.

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

No. I called Cuisinart's customer service. The representative took the time to look it up: "No sir, there is no lead in the enamel."

Lead is toxic, so this is a valid question. Just because someone has been using them for years doesn't mean that they haven't been slowly poisoned. The flippant response by one of the responders to your question may indicate cognitive impairment, but it's impossible, of course, to determine whether that was due to drinking from leaded crystal. To answer your question, there is probably very little risk to a healthy adult from drinking out of leaded crystal. To be safe, children and pregnant women should not use such glasses. DO NOT use a leaded crystal decanter to store wine, whiskey, or any other liquid. Studies show that lead can leach out of the glass over time, especially with alcoholic or acidic beverages. Bottom line: drink from them, wash them, and put them away, but never store anything in them. I even saw a dog's water bowl made from leaded crystal. Since the water would sit in it constantly, there's no way I would use such a thing. But, I love my leaded glasses. In fact, I seek them out. Diamax (by cristal d'arques) and Crystalline (by Waterford) are just fancy names for non-leaded crystal. The more accurate name would be simply "glass". Those people afraid of their "smart" electric meter probably should be equally afraid of leaded glass. But, the rest of us can relax and enjoy the beauty of such glass.

I think they are what they term as "crystal glass". Real crystal has 24% or more lead in it. Crystal glass has less than 24% lead. There are also makers of "lead free" crystal but I would think the glass would be costly.I would lean more toward "glass" for this one if it has no lead. You can check for sure by e-mailing the Glencairn Whiskey Glass Co. Either way it doesn't matter, I have both the Canadian Whiskey Glass and the Glencairn Glass for my Bourbons. They both work well to bring out the aroma and taste. You can't go wrong.

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.

It's definitely not lead crystal, I am pretty sure its just molded glass. That said, its fairly cheap and looks aright.

I contacted Sprite tech support. They said that there is NO lead in all of their filter housing. Furthermore, cartridges are made of BPA food grade plastic and there is no iron in their filter media.

I wondered the same thing but lead isn't mentioned anywhere on the packaging or the item. I think you would have to contact the manufacturer to get an answer to this question.

My understanding is that lead is contained only in crystal (that's why one shouldn't put alcoholic beverages in crystal decanters for long periods, as the lead can leach out into the drink); this carafe is supposed to be glass, so no lead. I use mine as a bedside water container anyway, so even if it had lead in it, I don't believe there would be any risk.

I don't know if there is lead in it, but I doubt it because porcelain enamel is no longer made with lead. These are so pretty that I prefer them as decorative rather than actually using them to drink out of.

Hi Virginia, It has to be very thin rubber seal. The paper inside the lead fall apart. The metal lead doesn't match good with the glass. :)
