Thick glaze makes It difficult to make out the writing on the bottom of bowl. I can feel the imprint of the letters. What should I expect to see?

This is Mrs. Sirrine and it was my review of the products I bought for my husband and myself. The printing on the bottom of the small bowl is as follows (lowercase): fiesta, mfg in USA. Hope this answers your question. They are a worthwhile item and we use them all the time.

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

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.

most likely its its plastic is really noticeable. its not like the texture of a pen.

Use the trial and error method; one of the bowls I made probably could of held some cheese sauce, not sure for how long though, but can imagine eating the evidence of the unsuccessful attempts. (better luck if I make the bowls ahead of time and let them cool some what. also noticed the shrinkage of the bacon varied so some bacon bowls were more complete while others had more gaps.)

There is no writing on the bottom of these mugs and there is a very slight raised edge on the outside. Hope this helps.

I would think the manufacturer would have the answer. I gave it away so I can't look on the bottom to see if there is any marking. Sorry I cannot help you. Curious as to why you are interested in that.

I think it might be laser-etched. It isn't deeply stamped or anything, but there is a texture to it like something that has been laser-etched. Whatever it is, it seems to last. I ordered these and the progressive magnetic set at the same time, and the printed ink on the progressive set (which to be fair was half the price of the CIA set) has worn completely off my most used spoons since May 2012 when I got them. These look brand new.

I've only etched on glass but I didn't notice much vibration. I would think it would be ok if u don't press to hard . Didn't take much effort in glass to show writing. A test piece would be a good idea first

It's frosted. Not crystal clear, but not stark white. If you place it over print, you can see the print, but probably wouldn't be able to read it unless the font was large (36pt+). Hope this helps!

The leather is not hard enough to get a good imprint. Most likely the silver or gold embossing medium would flow and cause a smeared look. Sorry wish I could tell you different.

No marks, even inside my cups. I've had my set for about six months now, and we use it daily. The porcelain is more durable than ceramic. I am very pleased with the quality of this set for the price I paid. I've never owned porcelain before, so I don't know if later on there will be marks. In the past, I've used baking soda or the new magic eraser sponges to remove marks. Hope this is helpful.

I couldn't tell either, so I tried rolling out a small amount of fondant, and then I could tell by the fondant - if the fondant was shiny, that side of the mat was shiny, and if it was duller, that was the matte side. Then I did the same thing as another commenter and marked it in the corner with a permanent marker so I wouldn't have to guess anymore.

there is a ridge on the outside. It indents a little around the edge on the inside. They are really great bowls. We use them all the time to measure ingredients when cooking and to mix items together. You will enjoy using them.

No, not super easy to read, & I am very young. Your best bet is probably the clear cups with red markings like a Pyrex cup.

I've been using mine for over a year and the print is rubbing off to the point where I can't read it anymore. I mostly wash it by hand although it has been in the dishwasher a few times.

Hi, June! My project was delayed, so tiles are still in bags. I just checked, and yes, the letters and the little numbers are both very slightly indented into the wood.

I think it is a reflection or a defective photo - mine is silver all around and makes a perfect butter melting pan.
