Very well made that makes it an elegant n extremely useful product that does what it is meant to do w/such ease from preparation to thorough easy clean up. Yes it is glass n care must be taken but the glass is of substantial thickness, solid not thin n flimsy. Glad I purchased 2, well worth it for the price. Even though once filled it will be heavier like all other pichers, it's shape n construction allows for good support n balance when pouring n no fear of it tipping over when just standing there by itself.
