What is the % of lead in the crystals?

Really don't know, but love the light. Had to hang each prism individually after light installed. It was packaged very carefully & shined up each crystal as they were hung I used 25 watt chandelier lights because its a smaller foyer & 40 watts would have been too much & it's shines beautifully. Tedious to hang but worth it.

Not sure. Can't be that high given the quantity of crystals and the price of the chandelier - but maybe due to the cut, the prisms have great brilliance that is akin to a much more expensive chandelier I own that is 30% lead.

I have no idea. I don't remember seeing it on any of the packaging. However, I can tell you that it looks like optical prisms, in that you get lots of refraction.

I wondered the same thing but lead isn't mentioned anywhere on the packaging or the item. I think you would have to contact the manufacturer to get an answer to this question.

My research is that it is definitely "lead crystal"....just that it does not go through the lengthy process to render it as thin as most other very fragile and light weight crystal that you pay big money for. Check out the company "Longchamp in "Arques, France" if you still want more information. I'm no expert but the above comment is my findings many years ago,.

I want Diamax to avoid lead! Who on earth wants leaded crystal in this age of information? Lead is a neurotoxin.

Hopefully Amazon is not selling Lead Crystal! Ever heard of lead poisoning? Many Catholic priest were found to have very large amounts of lead in their blood and the reason, lead containers to keep wine in for "Communion" !!! Lead is a very bad metal that causes Cancer...Perhaps nice to look at but not nice to use as a decanter for storage of wine or liquor.... I have several very expensive leaded crystal pieces that I inherited and we do not store anything in them. Too dangerous for use.....

No, they are not. There are some comments about lead in the ratings section, but if I recall correctly, they're some minimal amount (around 5%, which is lower than what you'll find in most European crystal products). You still shouldn't store the alcohol in them for the long-term, but long enough for drinks and washing? They should be good! (I love my set! Very attractive!)

I really can't answer that forsure. It appears to be largely a plastic product. If there is lead I'm not sure where it would even be unless it's where the batteries go in the base of the unit. Sorry!

there is no way, at this price, thatthese glasses are 24% lead crystal! And made in France...????I seriously doubt it.

No, it's not lead crystal. Returned ours to seller as it did not meet our requirements.

As stated in the description these glasses are made from 24% lead crystal. There is also a link to California Proposition 65 warning for lead exposure.

Hi Sandy, In the older pieces made in theUS there is no lead, but the newer pieces are being made in China and do have small amounts of lead in them. I hope this helps. Bella

The blue swirl is in the glass itself. 50-ish dishwasher rides later, they are still as blue as ever. I don't know about the lead content - sorry!

My understanding is that lead is contained only in crystal (that's why one shouldn't put alcoholic beverages in crystal decanters for long periods, as the lead can leach out into the drink); this carafe is supposed to be glass, so no lead. I use mine as a bedside water container anyway, so even if it had lead in it, I don't believe there would be any risk.

spoke to rep about this. very nice and helpful. she stated that the lead comes from water and soil. no different from anything that grows in soil. only exceeds ca levels at max starting dose of 6 tabs a day.

Certainly, I am not the manufacturer so obviously, only the manufacturer can give you a true answer to your question. However, I do know the teapot is made from borosilicate glass and to the best of MY knowledge, borosilicate glass does not contain lead. It is widely used in lab equipment. BTW.. the company Grosche that manufacture the teapots is from Canada. I strongly suggest you contact them directly at sales@grosche.ca to get a reliable answer.

No idea if it contains lead...email seller. Package says it's brass...no mention of lead. It works GREAT!

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.
