It is made of glass. The glass is of high quality though...very thick and heavy.

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 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.

I am not sure if it is plastic or crystal; whatever it is a poor quality material. I got several crystals broken. There are no extra ones. It is a poor quality item and very much complicated to assemble. I don't recommend it for anyone.

Almost all of the time ceramic glassware is lead free. The glassware you should watch out for is crystal-ware since the crystallization is created using a lead compound. This is especially true when the crystal is tinted. Tinted GLASS is okay, but tinted crystal-ware is usually not. Regardless, the problem is caused when you are using acidic foods and beverages within these containers since they can cause lead leakage. As long as you are using a fairly neutral Ph in tinted crystal-ware you should still be fine.

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.

Metal. You have to put the glass in the lanterrn. It is all wrapped so that it doesn't break when shipping.

The crystals are cut glass and quite sparkly. Some reviewers noted that they were plastic, but mine were glass. Once again, use caution when you assemble this light fixture because it has very sharp edges!

Glass. But the one I bought for my parents has broken within a year. Disappointed

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!

Believe it or not it is actually glass! The rest is all metal. I just got another one for a Christmas present ( it came in two days!) as we were so pleased with the construction and how it worked.

My research is that it is definitely "lead crystal"....just that it does not go through the lengthy process to render it as thin as most other very fragile and light weight crystal that you pay big money for. Check out the company "Longchamp in "Arques, France" if you still want more information. I'm no expert but the above comment is my findings many years ago,.
