Is this set made of lead crystal or one of the newer safe variants of crystal glass (using potassium/zinc/barium instead)?

Per Godinger.com, the crystal on their site has a Prop 65 warning for lead. Contacted them and they state this particular item is LEAD FREE.

The glasses are Duralex. All Duralex products are supposed to be lead-free. I can't vouch for the carafe.

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.

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 think most of the ones produced these days are lead free. I think you need to worry more about antique pieces. For the money, this looks and feels amazing. You will def be happy!

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.

The bowls are Corelle ceramic - - about as safe as any glass product made. No lead, & BPA is a plastic and metal food can coating problem.

Yes the glass is lead free. And yes to third party testing.The lids are made in the USA of polypropylene. They are lead,BPA, phthalate and PVC free.

Libbey often advertises their glassware as lead free but it's not specifically listed for these, I'm pretty sure they are lead free however. Significant amounts of lead in crystal glass and glazing on some crockery are the only products I would be concerned about.

The previous answer describing tests and glazes is correct - for Corelle's *STONEWARE*, though. These plates (and almost all of Corelle, excluding the mugs) are not stoneware. They're made of a special type of glass, which should not contain or leach any lead at all. This is why I chose these, because I believe them to be safe.

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.

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.

Yes, this is real lead crystal. There are conflicting ideas re. any dangers posed by using lead crystal bar ware. The best advice I have heard is that is is fine to use it to serve in, but not an entirely safe idea to store consumables in. I use my all the time. Lead crystal looks and feels far better than simple glass.

Crystal is a generic term and can refer to any glass. Diamax is a term used by Cristal D'arques to refer to nonleaded glass. When speaking of leaded crystal, most people are thinking of glass with 24 % lead content. It's more expensive to use lead in the process, so the nonleaded glasses can be sold cheaper. Although pregnant women and children probably shouldn't drink from leaded glasses, there is absolutely no evidence to suggest that healthy people face any risk from using leaded glassware. However, liquids should never be stored in a leaded container.

Hi Patricia, the glass has been 3rd party tested for lead and other harmful contaminants according to California's Proposition 65. All samples tested, passed with less than .100 micrograms per milliliter for lead content. Hope this was helpful!

The blue swirl is inside the glass. Unfortunately, I do not know if they are lead free. But I certainly hope so.
