Is the stopper made of plastic or ceramic?

As Joe Pesci says in My Cousin Vinnie, if both parts of the valve were ceramic, "it wouldn't hold water." Half of the valve is ceramic. The other half, the part that slides into place to cover the hole in the ceramic, is made of a semi-flexible material which appears to be silicone. Perhaps a better question would ask whether or not that silicone is food grade. I'd give it a 98% chance of being food grade, but perhaps an email to Bonavita is in order. Good question!

The lever is plastic, there is a soft (silicone?) cover on the stopper but the important thing to know is that the plastic lever breaks after a while, regardless of how careful you are! I just posted a review on this. Mine lasted 10 months.

It looks like it's made of a plastic-silicone type of material...that gives it a snug fit.

The stopper is plastic with a silicone top that contacts the ceramic base where the hole is.

The spout is plastic. There is also a plastic connector near the spout. We choose to neutralize any possible affects

The top bowl is plastic. But when it is grid the parts are stainless steal and ceramic.

It is plastic. It actually works better than some of the more cushy one. There is much less splash back and leakage underneath. It fits securely on our standard size toilet.

The dispenser is made of glass and stainless steel. There may be some plastic parts in the trigger mechanism. I'm not sure. I gave it as a gift and my daughter is really thrilled with it. I hope this helps. Sonny.

The one I have is made of plastic. It isn't bad, but the silver finish around the outside started flaking very quickly.

It is ceramic all around and has a removable rubber stopper on the bottom of the cup (a small circle the size of a quarter).

I believe silicone. Either way, it's a soft flexible spout. Not a hard plastic.

I'm guessing it's rubber. Almost two years and works and looks like new. As I mentioned before, I washed out some old fancy wine bottles, use two of these stoppers and now have the most gorgeous wine and vingar bottles. I'm constantly changing oil and vingar products and after each bottle is empty, I wash bottle and stopper, and it still looks new. You don't know how many compliments I get. I have even given them as gifts and the receipents flip for them. And when you tell them to be creative and use old wine bottles (whatever kind you like) and put the OXO Good Grips Stopper/Pourer they are blown away. I hope this answers your question. Just a tip. Find red and green bottles and use these stoppers and you'll have the most fun, decorative and functional pourers ever.

It's a twist-on plastic piece. It has rubber in it, but it's not a rubber stopper.

It is plastic, but looks more like porcelain. Unless you pick it up and look closely at it, you would not be able to tell the difference.

Yes it is stainless with a rubber stopper. Mine works great and am completely satisfied with the product. I use mine for olive oil.

It is made of plastic. There is another one, I think it's a little larger that looks like the jar is glass. The gears on both are ceramic, which and adjustable which makes the company one of the best around. Here's the name for the other one Hario Ceramic Coffee Mill Skerton. Amazon carries it as well.

The lid is plastic (with a seal); the green part that wraps around the ceramic is silicone.

No it's not plastic. I't made out of some sort of ceramic or stone. I really don't know what it is but they have some weight to them.

It's wrapped for Christmas but I do believe it is a replacement stopper.Hope this help.

The clear tops on top of the ceramic are plastic. All of it is very durable.
