How thick is the glass? I notice a lot of "glass skull" decanters on Amazon are made of very thin glass.

The glasses were wrapped tight and well but the decanter was shattered. I returned it all. I did not reorder the same set.

Definitely thicker than a wine glass, but similar in thickness to a normal water glass. The weight of the plastic glass is similar to glass if that gives you any indication. I have used these recently with guests and they were surprised it was plastic.

a thin,metal like tin top, and glass part is not a heavy glass. there are no roough angles or cuts in the glass . I know it is what I expected, nothing really fancy or expensive. But it looks elegently nice ontop of my furniture and is perfect for the size powder puff I purchased seperatly. Like they were made for each other. Would be fine for young child above the age of 8 yrs old I think. Hope this answers your question.

I actually bought this item as a gift, so I haven't seen it in use for a while. I tested it first, which is how I knew it dripped. As I recall, the drip came after pouring the wine. It was that last little bead that would drip down the side of the decanter. This was a common irritation in all the decanters I tested. I felt that for the price, the decanter looked elegant and was still worth buying. You'd want a napkin, though, to be handy after pouring.

Those glasses are so nice my husband says the glass thickness is about 1/8 inch we love them so durable and dishwasher safe. We use them for hot coffee and teas. I love them!! They feel and look expensive great buy the price.

I just returned one. The glass was broken. It looks really thin. Should I dare order another one. I just got my refund email. Please advise.

I only see one that is actually glass that is also cheaper. Reading the description tells me that English is not the writers 1st language, and I found that lightly entertaining. It should not detract from the product however. The reviews were mostly positive. My experience with the LARMOR product left me with a very good impression though, and I would not hesitate to buy again.

Thick glass. I have mine stocked full with liquor bottles. I don't worry about the glass breaking at all. Very sturdy.

How long did you age your wine in it? Was yours the same with a char on the inside? I am afraid because some say this is just a "whiskey barrel" not a wine barrel! Any feedback would be great!

By definition, crystal is lead glass. This particular decanter is indeed 24% lead. You can find decanters that look like this one and have no lead; they will be marketed as glass decanters and are usually cheaper. For example, the Bormioli Rocco collection is made of glass, not crystal.

No without 1/4 " glass on top the wine would not be secure. But thin glass is cheap or exiglad

It is thicker than a wine glass at the rim, but I love them. Wish I would have got the four glass set. I don't think you will be disappointed, but that is the beauty of Amazon. Just send them back if you don't care for them.

That was important to me too. They're heavier and more durable than most stemware. None-the-less, they are glass and won't take a lot of abuse. Reasonable care.

I think they do...this is by no means a "chunky" glass. The rim isn't as thin as some wine glasses, but overall the glass is way lighter than they look in picture. Hope that helps!

Yes it is and pretty thin, fragile glass at that. After ~ 6 months ours broke and you can't buy replacements currently (we've looked everywhere) so unless they start making them again the whole thing is going in the dump :-(

I think they're quite sturdy while still looking elegant, not blocky. I base my statement on the fact that I dropped one on a hardwood floor and my heart went right to my toes as I expected to be sweeping up shards of glass. To my delight (and gratitude) the glass was not even cracked..
