Has the glaze cracked or chipped off while using? Is the ceramic lead free?

I also don't know about the ceramic, but also haven't had any problems with chips or cracks.

The glaze is still perfect, no cracking or chipping. I do not know if it is lead free. I used recyclable/decomposable bags in mine.

Don't know about the make up of the ceramic, but it has never chipped or cracked. Even when I dropped the lid onto it awkwardly.

I do not know about it being lead free, the glaze on mine is holding up beautifully !

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

No, I haven't had any chipping problems. For normal wear and tear, Le Creuset carries a lifetime warranty.

Stoneware is notorious for having glazes that have lead. That being said, there are many glazes that do NOT have lead in them. I bought one of these pots at Walmart and it occurred to me that it was glazed differently from the one shown here. Then I got to thinking about lead in the glaze. I ended up here trying to find out if the pot was lead free. So far no answers to that question.

Without analyzing glaze or pottery chips, there is no practical way to determine lead content in ceramics. I don't recall that a product standard was delivered with the canisters when we received them.

I would suppose that you are referring to a non stick coating. I just looked at my pot and see nothing that might be considered a coating. The ceramic pot does have a glaze. it is not just a slip fired only pot.

There is a slight glaze, but I'm pretty sure it fades after 24 hours... Though, now that I think about it, it may still very slightly be there.. Nothing too crazy though!

The package that the glass comes in does not specify if it is lead free. So I am unable to truthfully answer the question. The glass is clear without a green tint to it though. Sorry I was unable to help.

I wouldn't be able to answer that, I have this set as display only. My daughter has moved it around a bit and it has not chipped or cracked yet. However she has not been to harsh on it yet. I am so sorry I may not be too much help. The set is very pretty and I like it a lot but I only bought it for show.

Mine is currently in use, thus I cannot look at the bottom or inside of it, but the product description says: "The crock is 100% lead free vitrified porcelain." We've been using our for several years and no signs of lead poisoning yet. (some delirium and lots of insanity however).

Hi Pam,Except for the part that sits on the diffuser, mine is not missing any glaze. I hope this helps. - Kim

I did not use the glaze. I tried it on an inner shelf and it really didn't look much different so I chose not to use it at all. The protective coat makes a nice shine though.

The ceramic sink will not chip or stain with normal use. Vitreous is not available. Thank you!

No lead. Can not be used on stove top. The glaze is added to the pottery before it goes into the Kiln so that food will not stick.

Yes, it is. The ceramic is not heavy duty like a Starbucks mug though. Glaze will chip if you have somebody who is hard on mugs.

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.

I am not sure if this ceramic have lead, not all ceramic is contaminated with lead, I hope not, but if so, manufacture should advice to consumers. I know for sure the Grecian to tint gray hair for man have lead and the product is still on shelves in stores like HEB, Walmart, etc.
