Plastic. - I don't think it would be very easy to make one from glass. I don't really know. But, I do want only glass if possible - because glass harbors less bacteria. However, this is thick plastic with a special coating (microban - I think). My favorite part of this feeder is that the ports are very small. The goldfinch really have to work to get the seed. There is less waste. Sometimes I let the feeder stay low for a week. The goldfinch have "voracious" appetites for Nyjer and like to travel in large groups. By cutting them off - (keeping a low stock in the feeder for a week) - teach them to survive - make them smarter. A few will still come around. And at this time of year, many will disappear altogether while they go somewhere else to breed. Most of this I have read elsewhere online. ... Remember, if you use the "upright" feeder and want to use up your Nyjer before it goes bad, you will definitely need to wash the feeder ports (Eastern US) to prevent blinding the House Finch. They stick their beak in all the way up to their eyes. I had unknowingly participated in spreading this "Eye disease" and although not fully debilitated, the House Finch could only see a few feet in front of them. --Here is where a glass feeder would clean easily and help the House Finch. I recommend to feed House Finch if desired (occasionally IMO) because there has been a correlation between rising House Finch population and declining House Sparrow population (and vice versa). Goldfinch are my favorite bird to feed. They are absolutely delightful. I would definitely invest in a glass feeder if it was affordable.

Made from a very durable plastic. We have two and are in great shape after four years.

Unfortunately it is plastic. I order this product from iHerb because they carry the glass bottle. it's a tiny bit more; maybe a dollar, but I will pay more for a glass bottle. I really like this stuff. I use it everyday.

The one I have is plastic. I am very pleased with the item. It doesn't feel "cheaply made". I would recommend. It works great for me.

plastic, however, it seems to be very sturdy. We have been using it for about 6 months and it is still perfect.

Yes, it is made of plastic, but seems stong and is holding up well. Hope this helps.

I'm fairly certain that it's made of glass. Unfortunately, I'm not in the office where it sits at my desk so I can't say for sure. I'll take a closer look next week and confirm with you but I'm pretty sure the sphere is glass.

It's plastic which makes it very light weight. Most large measures are glass. It took real searching to find a plastic one!
