Is it lead/cadmium free, non-toxic? Is it glazed? Thank you.

Yes - the pot and lid are made of glazed and fireproof ceramics and is safe for all food use. It is safe to put directly on stove or in the oven. Note that the bottom of accompanying cedar wood steamer basket is made of perforated terracotta and is not glazed. The brochure that comes with the set has directions on how to prepare the steamer set and the basket for best results and years of usage. Please read more in the product description or e-mail us and we will be happy to answer any questions. Counterpoint Staff.

No. So far I've only found Denby, HF Coors, and Homer Laughlin that are lead free and cadmium free. Americans need to be more aware of this subject and demand dinnerware be manufactured here in the U.S.

The FAQ on the Vita Clay Website says that the pot was tested in an independent lab for lead contamination and they obtained the result 99.99% lead free, It says also that the pot could be actually 100% lead free (as the lab does not measure this level of accuracy). There is no mention to cadmium free but inquiries to Vita Clay customer Service could clarify this issue.

I don't recall seeing a warning. I believe it is just porcelain coated. It works great but let us know if there is a lead issue.

I would visit their website and ask them. Good question! Here is what the Amazon site says: BPA-Free, lead free, cadmium free, toxin-free, worry free glass water bottle product. The company is Glasstic.

No, it's completely lead free. You wouldn't be able to microwave it otherwise. :)

It is lead crystal. Lead is used to be able to cut the designs in cystal. If it was smooth glass it would likely be lead free.

lead free? probably. Getting a supply of glaze with lead would probably be difficult. If it were some weird, uncommon color, I might be more skeptical. Made in America? doubtful. Anyway, I didn't know this until recently but some of the kiln factories in china are hundreds of years old and quite famous. If your cup has no mention of a kiln, it's not from one of the highly regarded kiln factories. price is indicative.

If it were lead free, it would be glass. Lead infused with glass is what makes crystal.

Its made out of Porcelen and I didn't see anything that really stands out as lead. I did contact the seller and this is what they told me "I dont know if it is lead free. There are no markings on the box and I have never seen japanese/any tableware with the a lead free certification. I would say use your best judgement."

The description of the product is cosmetic grade non nano UV protectant, and it is FDA approved as food grade. There is no lead in it.

I'm no expert, but I believe that most clear glass products, which these are, are lead free. The only exception I know of is products known as "lead crystal," and that is labeled as such and is usually very expensive. Lead crystal is decorative crystal and not usually found in products such as mugs. If they did have lead, they would have to be labeled as such to be sold in California. That is my best guess.

As I recall from researching it is not completely lead free. However the only time the lead will leach into the liquor is if it sits for a long time in the decanter. I read that the amount of lead that would be in a normal glass is not harmfull unless you are drinking from it all the time. But if you are drinking from it frequently then you will not have the lead leaching problem. I use it pretty often, and I am a okay! Great product.

I checked their website and it says all of their glazes are lead free. One should expect that since they are a domestic producer of food safe containers they would be compliant with US law.

Sorry I took so long in answering your question. The answer to your question is yes it is lead free to the best of my knowledge. It works great.

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.

Every item we sell is imported from Mexico, Spain or Portugal. This particular item is from Mexico. It is lead free, FDA approved as safe for food and is double oven fired glazed.
