Does anyone know if this is really lead crystal, or a glass look alike from China?

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

It definitely does not look/feel like cheapo stuff. I purchased this and another decanter for the office and use for whiskey and vodka. It does the job and looks pretty first class.

Just checked the tag on mine, it says hand crafted lead crystal made in china.

Jennifer. Don't know if it's lead crystal but it's a fine product. Very heavy. I've been using mine everyday for about 6 months. Love it. You won't be disappointed.I think it's made in China where everything else is made.

We are not sure but we love it. It is very sturdy crystal. We actually bought another one as a gift and receive many compliments on it.

In my opinion, No. I just think that the leaded glass gives the piece a distinctive look.

If u r buying the same one that is glass not lead crystal for this price but it is just as nice. You might want too get a hanging lamp cord and chain kit from Home Depot/ $12.00: Read. I like the chain kit so I can clean it and move it around it I want. Mine did have the tear drops and center ball. You can also buy used leaded crystal parts on e-bay and refit it until ur heart is happy. I have different color crystals and hand made shade covers for different times of the year :) My advice is leave the plastic on the shades for easy washing.. Esp if you have it near the kitchen like I do..

The small crystals appear to be plastic. The large crystals appear to be glass. Even though the texture feels different it does not take away from how classy this piece looks in a room.

http://www.haz-map.com/leadfact.htm. I am not the manufacturer but what I can tell you is that normal glass usually does not contain lead. If I had to worry about anything these days I would be worried about Fukashima radiation.

Its not really leaded. It just looks that way for appearances. Its just a grid glued onthe front of regular glass.

I bought it under the impression that it was Lead-free, however the box is labeled "lead crystal."

Yes, the box says the pitcher is lead crystal. Maybe look for "crystalline" as I think that is lead-free.

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

Its crystal, which is like glass and definitely not plastic. If any of the numerous crystals look blemished (there are a lot of pieces to put together) just call the company and let them know. I did and they immediately shipped out replacements for me free of charge and even included a few extras. They were great!

Yes....these glasses are 24 percent lead crystal and they are beautiful. I absolutely love them!

Yes, it is lead crystal. I've never tried it in the dishwasher, as I've always heard not to put lead crystal or glasses with stem in the dishwasher. But since it was three years ago that I purchased, I don't recall if there was anything written about it on the box. They handwash and dry easily.

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 purchased them a while back, and I'm confident they are crystal. I'm no expert, but if they were glass I would expect a seam, which they do not have. Also they are much heavier than what I would expect from glass. I'm satisfied with my purchase.

I am not sure if it does or not. This was a gift to my best man at my wedding close to 2 years ago. It is a beautiful piece but definitely not on the higher end crystal but decent enough. Sorry I can't answer the question about lead.
