Have you needed the 2 year warranty? And does anyone happen to know if the glaze is lead free?

Mine will be two years old this December--I have not needed the warranty. I also own a 4 qt size--for 7 or 8 years; no problems with it either.This small one is a great size for 2 people.Regarding the glaze, there is nothing in the owners manuel to indicate that answer. You may be able to get clarification from Crock pot's website-- www.crockpot.com or call their customer service line 1-800-323-9519 .

I can't help you on the glaze but i did not need the warranty and have used my crock pot a lot. I love it. It's just the right size for 2 people. I would not want to be without it. Hope this helped.

Per Godinger.com, the crystal on their site has a Prop 65 warning for lead. Contacted them and they state this particular item is LEAD FREE.

lead would be in the glaze, not the clay (no such thing as lead added to clay, and glazes are less likely to have any added to). As it is not legal for any cookware in the US to contain lead, unless it is made elsewhere and not quality checked, I would say, no, there isn't any lead. I have been a ceramic artist for ten years.

that it is not correct. they are actually painted. the scratch easily! they didnt make it through my first dishwashing. they should tell you that they are not made of blue/cobalt glass but paint. lead free? i dont know but if they are made in china, you can count on it!

I have read there is lead to some degree, in nearly all ceramics. For our safety and product longevity, we always use a 'crock pot liner' or 'cooking spray' for ease of cleaning. To avoid scratching the glass finish we never use metal cooking tools or harsh cleaning products.

I assume so. Honestly, I just can't imagine that they'd have lead in them. They are a very quality products & absolutely beautiful. I love them!! I would never knowingly have anything that had lead in the glass to drink out of, of course. This is seemingly an extremely high quality way that the color is made into the glass itself, so there is no paint flaking issues like other brands or products have had.

I did a little research and cannot definitively say that they do not used lead paint. I know that awareness had been around since the 80's and a majority if issues were found in rustic products which spent less time in a kiln. With fine china they spend multiple trips to the kiln so it should be safe. Sorry I can't find a more definitive answer.

I'm going to say yes. No BPA because they are all glass and no lead because this type of glass doesn't need lead and they are not painted or glazed. I love mine and so far they do very well in the dishwasher and microwave. the best part is that they are small so they are perfect for portion control or for more elegant dinners.

Yes the glass is lead free. And yes to third party testing.The lids are made in the USA of polypropylene. They are lead,BPA, phthalate and PVC free.

I just live chatted with Kitchen Aid and they said that the ceramic pot has tested lead and cadmium "free" and that the product does *not* require a california prop 65 warning. I think that's as close as one can get to being certain that it's lead free before purchasing and testing yourself.

I assume its BPA free since it's glass. Not sure about lead though. It's made in Italy.

I gave it to my daughter for Christmas...she loves it but since she hasn't had it long I can't answer your question...the reviews were very good and with it being glazed I have good hopes it will be good for a long time....I did a lot of research before choosing this one.....also made in US made a difference...

The only information I found was on squidoo.com that said that all of their dinnerware meets the FDA Standards for lead and calcium(?) releases, so it's "perfectly safe". I assume that implies they are not 100% lead and cadmium free, but are minimal. Personally, I'm really happy with them. I ordered them in 4 different colors. Hope that hellps.

The product description states that the glaze is lead free. It's NOT made in China.....

Sorry they are not marked, I do not know the answer to the questions. Although they are white glaze inside. I have not heard of a lead based glaze, if that helps any.

Yes it is lead free. If you Google the question, you will see several articles which confirm it is lead free glass.

Almost all of the time ceramic glassware is lead free. The glassware you should watch out for is crystal-ware since the crystallization is created using a lead compound. This is especially true when the crystal is tinted. Tinted GLASS is okay, but tinted crystal-ware is usually not. Regardless, the problem is caused when you are using acidic foods and beverages within these containers since they can cause lead leakage. As long as you are using a fairly neutral Ph in tinted crystal-ware you should still be fine.
