Is there some advantage to leaded glass?

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

The leaded glass just looks really nice on this unit. We have our cable box inside the glass which works great. Very happy with the look and price of this console.

It is just for appearance. I don't think it is actually lead. It gives it a nice look instead of plain glass.

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

Do you perhaps mean "leaK" proof? It would be an easy typo to make. If you really meant "leaD", I'd say it's highly unlikely to contain lead. If you meant "leaK", I'd be a little reluctant to try it; the lids fit snugly, but it's easy to not get an edge down firmly. I use them for yogurt bought a liter at a time and rarely transport a full one anywhere. I like them enough that when I broke one recently, I ordered a new set so'd have exactly as many as I need. Yes, they are glass and they can break; I dropped one on a laminate countertop from maybe 8" and it broke into a number of pieces of widely varying sizes, some quite sharp. Maybe not for a kid's lunchbox.

I wondered the same thing but lead isn't mentioned anywhere on the packaging or the item. I think you would have to contact the manufacturer to get an answer to this question.

Circle ware is sold in so many stores like Kohls and JCPenny, I do not think it contains lead, as far as the spigot goes it is a chrome colored plastic and not the best spigot. The glass is not very thick but I have been using mine to brew Kambucha and its fine. I dont use the lid but they are thin metal. You could probably find a replacement spigot but mine are still working .

I think the only glassware that contains lead would be some crystal. THese are very nice glasses, none have broken or chipped.

My understanding is that lead is contained only in crystal (that's why one shouldn't put alcoholic beverages in crystal decanters for long periods, as the lead can leach out into the drink); this carafe is supposed to be glass, so no lead. I use mine as a bedside water container anyway, so even if it had lead in it, I don't believe there would be any risk.

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

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 it's one of the better models to have because it's not very heavy and has the rotating mechanism for the lead. In comparison to other pencils, it's more about the lead that determines breakage. This model has diamond infused lead which makes them a lot more resistant to breakage but good luck finding the replacements for it. If you're looking for good replacements, then get the super high polymer replacements from the office supply stores because they work just as well (if not better). They're also cheaper and easier to find.

I've had both and I think the glass is better to touch and is a Better, clearer experience. The original is nice and offers a slightly thinner surface addition however in a matter of taste, I prefer the glass. I will only use the glass from now on.

I bought 12 of these in June of this year and LOVE them! They are just beautiful and I don't believe that the lead content is an issue. The beverage doesn't sit in the glass for a prolonged period of time to leach any lead into the liquid. That would be a problem when storing liquor in a lead-crystal decanter, more likely.Just as a note, I also ordered the juice glasses, a very lovely, small glass that works just beautifully for the juice.

I assume so. Honestly, I just can't imagine that they'd have lead in them. They are a very quality products & absolutely beautiful. I love them!! I would never knowingly have anything that had lead in the glass to drink out of, of course. This is seemingly an extremely high quality way that the color is made into the glass itself, so there is no paint flaking issues like other brands or products have had.

I make porcelain pottery in my studio. It would be very unlikely that it would have any lead in it because lead is used to get bright colors. This is pure white and would not need lead to get that look.

I would assume it would be the glass cover as glass frequently contains lead. The containers are stainless steel which shouldn't have any lead and the outer cover and feet are a plastic resembling bakelite.

All brass has lead in it. The exposure area is minimal though, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Crystal is a meaningless term. Any glass can be called crystal, regardless of whether it contains lead. Diamax does NOT contain lead. My older Longchamp glasses are, in fact, 24 % lead. The newer glasses may be made of Diamax, in which case they aren't the same. If you want leaded crystal, make sure that the box says 24 % lead, or 24 % pb.

No idea. I would check with the manufacturer. I don't know if any plants are still using lead in the manufacture of glass.
