How clear is the glass? There is a lot of cloudy low cost glassware out there--just wondering how this one's purity fairs.

Just checked, the glass is clear. The sides are faceted. They look much more expensive. I would buy them again in a heart beat. Note they are also heavy.

Hey Jennifer -My mugs are perfectly clear and I am completely satisfied with my order.

I just got my shipment and I smiled when I saw then. I even went so far as to welcome them in their new home. :-) I am VERY PLEASED with them. My beer is going to taste great in them!!!!

They looked good to me and I am quite fussy about these things. However, I am not at home so I can't go look at them again. I bought them for an informal October Fest party, so I wasn't looking for fancy. They are quite heavy and for the price compared to others, I thought they were outstanding. I however, will look closely if you like and let you know.

I'd say the picture is pretty accurate as far as the transparency goes. I wouldn't consider this low cost glassware.

I'm not an expert but my set of came very clear and clean. I keep them in the freezer and put them in the dishwasher. Probably 50 or more washes already and they are still clear as when they first arrived. I would say I'm impressed by the purity.

It's not crystal clear. It's a "foggier" plastic similar to many common plastic storage containers. You can see through it, but it isn't as clear as glass.

I don't think (in my opinion) that it should be that cloudy, provided it was kept in a dark place at room temperature. I have heard they are one of the best. However it's always possible to have one that may not be the best. If it still smells like it did when you got it, it should be okay.

The glass is somewhat transparent, much like the glass from a beer bottle. It is easy to tell how much beer it contains.

Cups are cloudy with a clear lid. You can still see the color in them though.

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.

The glass jar portion is clear. The top is a brushed stainless steel. The photo just makes it look bluish.

Glass is clear with light color mesh inside. At least, mine is. I assume the photo is misleading.

They are clear, you are only seeing shadows in the picture. They are dishwasher safe. I LOVE these glasses!

The cups are clear and you can see through them but not see through glass crystal clear. The tops are clearer.

I think the clear material is Lucite or some other plastic, not glass. I agree with others that's better; glass can break and when using this while cooking one can't be sure to carefully place it down every time. In addition, when I finished the salt it came with and put in new salt, it didn't work as well. I'm not sure I'm happy with the product.

Clear glass. Mine had a chip in it upon arrival, but it's not enough of an issue for me to bother returning it.

Same problem. Some people won't care, but I want crystal-clear windows on the world. Even finger-scrubbing these glasses with grease-cutting dishwashing detergent and rinsing under very hot water won't remove all the smudges (and this ALWAYS makes my other eyeglasses and sunglasses impeccably spotless). It's like there is some sort of fine grease layer that even aggressive cleaning won't remove entirely, and what remains just moves around the surface. It may be some chemical inside the lens that is leaching out.

I didn't realize it wasn't glass. lol. So far it acts like it. Hope this helps a little.

I think they are clear glass. Since we only took it out of the box and never put it together, the glass appeared clear.

Mine has lines on the clear glass. As long as its level it really has been fine. Please let me know if i could answer anymore questions.
