Question -- was this supposed to be glass? The one that came feels plastic. It has since cracked (after a week of use).

Hey Beth, I believe this is a very thin glass. I have sense put mine in a Survivor case so that it would have extra protection and I have been using mine in Afghanistan for around nine months now with no problems. I am very sorry to hear that it cracked.

The plastic has a useful life. If your new one cracked right away, it may be defective and I would return it. Mine is holding up well.

This was hard to tell because the black plastic covers the bottom outside so you can't tell visually. But I drained it and felt around inside (there are some odd ridges and bumps) and it all felt like glass. Hope this helps.

It is not glass. It is plastic. Try a warming blender they have glass containers

The first one that got shipped to me was completely cracked. I'm pretty confident that it's tempered glass, since I was able to dispose of it very safely. The pieces mostly stayed together in big chunks despite being spider-webbed with cracks. BTW, they sent me a new one quickly & at no charge.

To look at it, you would think it's glass, but alas, it's very clear plastic. I'm not ashamed to use mine; I really like it.

It is glass, almost feels like a plexiglass mix though. Very nice a durable, don't know how it holds up in dishwasher because I always wash my bar glasses by hand but cleans up feeling like glass.

Definitely not glass---it's lightweight plastic. Don't know why the weight is listed so high.

IT'S GLASS!!!! Not Plastic, and I'm POSITIVE. I have several of them, and they are ALL GLASS.When I purchased 2 of them one time, one had been shattered into a million pieces in the mail. Trust me, it's glass.

I believe it is glass and looks fragile. Since it arrived too late to give, I didn't inspect it very well.

It is definitely NOT plastic. It is vitreous glass. It is beautiful, hard and resists high temperatures, but it is not unbreakable. It tends to shatter rather than break if it is dropped. In 30 years I've broken only 2 or 3 pieces.

Mine didn't feel plastic, but when I tried drinking coffee or tea from it, it just felt wrong. The edge was too wide.... Not an interesting experience

Nope, it is plastic, been using for it for about 7 days ? now no scratches. I wouldn't want glass because of weight and most likely more fragile than the hard phone glass screen.

no, mine is glass and the brown part is metal.the first one came with a cracked glass (during shipment) and the company sent another one with many apologies. very good company.Perhaps they have made the recent lanterns with plastic????call the company and ask them.

We gave it as a gift and they seem to really like it so I asked... Reply was; "It seems to be glass. Beware: The top is heavy and falls off easily. So, if you are getting one you may want to look for a complete stainless steel top." They said as long as you are aware of this it is fine. Hope this helps.

It's definitely not glass. I'm not sure of the material but it's an unbreakable one. Dropped it lots of times.

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!
