Do bowls have black markings on base? I tried 2x with Chefs and big bowl has black marks on base's outer edge. I'm wondering if all are like this.

No. Markings are all the same on the bottom of each bowl, etched 'made in France Duralex' but not in any colour. Hope that helps, I love these bowls and use them all the time.

There is a microwave symbol on the bottom of the bowls. I have not microwaved in any of them.

My dinnerware has shown no dark silverware marks so far. I ordered both a set of green and gold dinnerware. I use the dinnerware on a daily basis and have had no problems. I am still very happy with my purchase.

I'm not exactly sure, but I've seen dinnerware that have a more 'pointed' 4-corner design, as opposed to the more curved corners. The pointed square design is buffed smooth at its edges, but the corner 'points' are more pronounced. Perhaps someone else has a better answer! (;

Hi Laurie, I do own the bowl set, but they aren't marked as to size. I can tell you the large bowl is huge. It's larger than I had expected. I use all three and am pleased with them. Sorry. That doesn't help you at all.

Thanks for asking this! I too bought the non-divided plates and they warped TERRIBLY after washing once. There was a little insert that says just to bend them back if they warp from washing... but that NEVER worked. =( I'm hesitant to try the divided, but I really like them and hope they'll work better. Love the bowls!

Those markings in the pot are not in cups. I was told the markings are for cooking rice. Still not sure how that works, but I make yogurt using a whole gallon of milk and it doesn't equal those markings when I pour the milk in to the pot. It's such a shame they didn't use actual cup markings! Makes it very confusing!

Yes, the black is paint or a primer, so if you sharpen any further (which I don't recommend) you'll see scratch marks on the knife. With a good throwing knife you just need the point to be sharp. The edges are less important. Any other questions I am happy to answer!

Hey January B. I have this kitchen island and I love it, however mine doesn't have the black top, it's just plain wood. I can't tell if it's a different model, or if it is just a black table cloths on top....sorry. Also, the stools shown in this pictures are different from mine. Mine have a square sit without arm rest. Maybe this model is slightly different from mine!! Sorry if I haven't been very helpful!! Have a nice day

I wouldn't know for certain - sounds like it could be oxidation. You could ask for a different pot. I use mine every week, but it had no marks brand new. It has a few pencil-point sized black dots now but it has had burned food when I did not watch it closely and had the heat too high or was cooking something too long by multi-tasking. The dots don't worry me, but if your pan came to you in that condition, I'd ask for a new one. Contact amazon. They can tell you how to send it back and get a new one. They have return labels you can print out. Whenever I have called them with a problem, they promptly call me and I have resolved every one of the few problems I have had. I hope I was helpful.

Mine does not, I'm assuming marking is at least the same between knives. One side has the characters as shown and the other is blank. Same with the blade, markings on one side and blank on the other.

We just bought ours and washed it for first time tonight. Before packing her first lunch, we noticed the black smudges, mostly in grooves and near edges though also some on flatter portions of the pieces. After scrubbing and scraping, it mostly is coming off. It looks like something burned or remnants from manufacturing (since ours is brand new). I emailed the company for information; we'll see if they replace.

When I ordered those bowls it didn't give me the manufacturing location, only stated they were Libbey products. I did look today no location is on bowls. We love those bowls. CR

hmmmm...If you are referring to specks in the bowl, I can't say that I have experienced this with my bowl. Maybe it's just the lighting.Can you share a picture of it?

I'm a newbie to fiestaware, so I can't say for sure when a piece is authentic, but my plate, large bowl, and small bowl markings are all different. The large bowls have a printed mark, the small bowls and plates have a vague engraved marking. I'm pretty sure they're all authentic because they match all the markings on the link below. But some are print, others are engraved and a little hard to read. I suspect mine are all new or relatively new. I don't know much about vintage fiestaware. Hope this link helps. http://www.texascooking.com/fiestaware/identifying_fiestaware.htm
