Is this is cut and not molded? And the "crystal by its very nature" comment in the description sounds odd.

To be honest, I'm not 100% sure, but to me it looks cut. Wish I was at home to give it a look over again, but I love mine. This decanter looks great, and the stopper sits flush, which I can't say about others I've ordered and since returned from Amazon.

It is definitely molded. But for this price what can you expect? Decanters are heavy and the stoppers fit well. I got two and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. If you want cut crystal - add about $300 to the price!

I don't remember the crystals I just thought the iron looked cheap and it came In a million pieces with complicated directions so I decided to return. I have seen it hung in person though and it does look pretty-- if you can get past the setup

It's not distressed per we but I wouldn't say it's plain either. I love this piece; it was a very great purchase and it's high quality.

Well it is better and harder plastic than what I bought at the $ store. I have seen this for a little less. The Restore down the street has one for $3. Do you want me to buy it and send it to you.I do think crystal is over-rated and this is also, but I use it regardless.

Sorry Ozzie. I've been out of the country. It is my understanding that this is leaded crystal. A very nice piece and good value, it joins others in our collection.

The crystals are glass, not cut glass. This is an elegant piece and well worth the money. I use 3 nite lite bulbs because there is no shade to filter the light. I love it!!

No, this is not a crystal decanter, it's cut glass but it is heavy and substantial. It also has a silicone stopper for a secure seal. It's a great bargain if you're not looking for anything expensive. It makes a great decanter for giving liquid gifts.

The ones I bought for my mother are clear. I wouldn't describe them as crystal but they are beautiful and very finely made. I have some in the Dragonfly pattern and my sister has the Versailles in wine, water and carafe.They can also be put in the dishwasher but make sure they don't touch each other. I chipped the rim of one of mine that way.

No, this picture looks like it has a lot of crystals on it. The chandelier that I got did not contain as many crystals but the quality of the crystals make up for it.

Hi..yes it is normal. Some stones are cut to include these beautiful imperfections. All stones have them. The ones that do not are polished down to get rid of them. I think they make the stone more beautiful......after all, we are all a bit imperfect but beautiful.....right? ;-)

I suggest you use Google to familiarize yourself with "Crystal" and go from there. I do not consider this item to be "Lead Crystal". We have a number of beautiful old family Crystal items and this is no match. Other than that, you are on your own. "Caveat emptor!" ~B~

I assume it's non leaded crystal, like the rest of it. It is really a beautiful piece. Understated, had a great weight, and fits the hand perfectly. I love mine.

Yes, it is real crystal, with a very pleasant "ring" I use these every day and get lots of compliments. Are they expensive cut crystal like Waterford no; but they are good quality crystal that looks beautiful. I also have the taller, 12 oz glasses, that I use for iced tea and water. These, I use mainly for juice and for cocktails when we're serving lots of guests.Some with parse the meaning of "crystal" and insist that "real" crystal must contain lead. That's not the definition: a piece of a homogeneous solid substance having a natural geometrically regular form with symmetrically arranged plane faces, or, highly transparent glass with a high refractive index. In other words, all crystal is simply "pretty glass."' Yes, it is real crystal, with a very pleasant "ring" I use these every day and get lots of compliments.

It is very smooth and unfinished. Ready to be stained. I do believe it is untreated. Hope that is helpful.

Yes, there is nothing put together but it's simple or easy to figure out. I didn't put all the crystals on mine and it still looks good.

It is crystal, and like all my crystal I would not put it in the dishwasher..the power of the wash could scratch it
