Is the blue swirl inside the glass itself or is it some kind of ink on the surface of the glass? Also are these lead free?

Don't know about lead-free but I would think so given the size of the manufacturer. The ink is in the glass as far as I can see. Enjoy.

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

the blue is in the glass itself, not painted on surface..don't know if lead free

The blue swirl is in the glass itself. 50-ish dishwasher rides later, they are still as blue as ever. I don't know about the lead content - sorry!

The swirl is in the glass, it is thick tempered glass. Almost gives the feel of hand blown, but it is thick and heavy. Made in Italy, you can find this company online http://www.bormioliroccousa.com/ I liked them so very much that I search and found the plates, salad bowls, serving bowls and both sizes of glasses 14.5 oz and 8 oz.

Swirl is inside the glass. You will be pleased with the craftsmanship. They aren't smooth. More like textured. They have juice glasses as well and desert plates and dinner plates which I will be ordering soon. Excellent Italian look and feel.

The blue is mixed inside the glass itself..they are great, keep your drink really cool for a long time. I believe they are lead free...

The blue swirl is inside the glass...been thru the dishwasher many times and still looks great. I have no idea about the lead free...but I would assume so! These glasses are awesome!

Sorry they are not marked, I do not know the answer to the questions. Although they are white glaze inside. I have not heard of a lead based glaze, if that helps any.

I think it might be laser-etched. It isn't deeply stamped or anything, but there is a texture to it like something that has been laser-etched. Whatever it is, it seems to last. I ordered these and the progressive magnetic set at the same time, and the printed ink on the progressive set (which to be fair was half the price of the CIA set) has worn completely off my most used spoons since May 2012 when I got them. These look brand new.

They are just clear glass- No coating. Mine go in the dish washer once a week and they are fine and dandy. They do reflect other colors around them very well- Probably because they are so bendy. I absolutely love them!

They are slightly indented swirls. They are a bit oversized but very comfortable to hold. Sturdy and do not bend, rust or tarnish, despite the fact that our water is hard. I've had them for a few years at least. I even scoop ice-cream straight from the box with them. Never a problem. Get many compliments!

Different design blue swirls, yes, because of the art. Glasses all are the same shape. They look beautiful!

I do not know about it being lead free, the glaze on mine is holding up beautifully !

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

The glaze is still perfect, no cracking or chipping. I do not know if it is lead free. I used recyclable/decomposable bags in mine.

The spouts are plastic with a thin, gold metal overlay (it's like a gold tin). I can't say about the BPA or lead-free status of them.

THESE ARE NOT TOXIC... they are made from borosilicate glass HANDMADE IN USA!!!!

Dear Momtoeight, Vitrified glass means the glossy/shiny surface for this type of dispenser. The dispenser is certified lead free as well as other harmful materials such as cadmium...Hope this information helps!

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!

Are these truly glass, or acrylic? if they are acrylic, they'll discolor. What's the REAL DEAL HERE?

Godinger recommends washing these by hand, but I've used mine in the dishwasher and so far they still look great. I guess they can crack in the dishwasher..I believe these are lead crystal but I don't recall seeing it on the box.

I'm no expert, but I believe that most clear glass products, which these are, are lead free. The only exception I know of is products known as "lead crystal," and that is labeled as such and is usually very expensive. Lead crystal is decorative crystal and not usually found in products such as mugs. If they did have lead, they would have to be labeled as such to be sold in California. That is my best guess.
