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

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!

Lids are clear. Yes there's writing.... says Xeonic in large letters then in very small letters it says "The best freshness by an excellent air tightness. Good design & convenient style" The writing is not an eyesore by any means. Didn't even notice it until I received your ? and looked to answer you. They're such a nice set...strong,bpa-free,dishwasher safe,etc. Got sick of the take n toss cheap stuff because they really do stain, unlike these bowls. Hope I helped!!!

It doesn't say "colonel conk" or anything like that. There's a mark, I'm assuming from the potter who made the bowl. It looks almost like an upper-case cursive "L".

The backs of the plates are glazed a smooth plain white except for the actual rim of the base. (The bit which makes contact with the table.) That part is unglazed and feels slightly grainy.

I sent the bowl that I had back to the seller. The bowl is glazed on the outside and the upper rim; but, the surface texture is too rough in my opinion. In time, a person my be able to grind down the inner surface to make it smoother. I discovered that I can use one of my Corel dessert plates and the back of a spoon to grind pills very fine. For my purposes, though, the medication doesn't need to be superfine since I'm mixing it with my cat's food. My concern was the same as yours.

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.

The bottom of both the bowl and plate are made of a rubbery non-slip surface (the colored part on the very bottom in the item photos). This rubbery surface is slightly raised (on the order of the thickness of a few sheets of paper) at the edges relative to the middle, so the bottom isn't exactly flat.

Hi, I am not at home at the moment, so I cannot look to see if there any marks on it. Sorry. I'll save your email and when I get home on the weekend, I'll take a look and let you know. Good luck.

The bottom really seems to be quite flat. There is really no indentation, so we haven't noticed a problem. We usually do not use 'heated dry', so maybe there might be some residual moisture if the we empty the dishwasher soon after the cycle ends. Our only possible complaint is that they don't really stack...we clearly have too many glasses in the cupboards.

I have not used it in several months. I just look inside the bowl and see if there is any buildup and then use it. It look like new inside.

I am almost sure they have Glencairn engraved on the bottom of the glass. I purchased 6 of them about a year ago. I will double check regarding the markings

As a natural stone there maybe chips or other imperfections. If it is on the edge of the stone it may have been damaged during shipping. If it is on the edge or really noticeable I would return it and as for replacement. Hope that helps you.

I personally haven't used them that much to test it out but it is visible. Id say more of a pastel color than a vibrant color. But you could always just color it in big letters!

Thank you so much Dacker :)I think that you could find the production by looking at the uncolored bottom.Have a nice day :)Rabe'

Don't know how easily it scratches, mine arrived without scratches and i havent deliberately tried to scratch it to find out what it stands up to, however there was some paint transfer from the ink on the cardboard packing materials to the frosting, I believe it will come out, otherwise I will have a pink rimmed bowl around the bottom.

Thank you for mentioning this problem. I will use a clear-coat nail polish over my white lettering. Hope that will make it last longer.
