The measurements are just written in paint on the glass. Won't they rub off over time? I have other glass measuring cups that have done so.

I have not had this measuring cup that long, so I can not answer your question.

I have this measuring cup that I have used for over 10 years. The measurements are as clear & readable as when it was new. I have also had measuring cups that the markings have faded on so I know what you are speaking about. You will not experience this with the Catamount measuring cup. A very satisfied customer here! I have also given them as gifts because of my positive experience.

Catamount must use the same paint that they use on their laboratory glass. Lab glass is exposed to extreme chemicals, heat, and cold. Maybe after many years the paint may come off, but not as quickly as regular glass.

I have had this measuring cup for several months. I still looks good after several dishwasher cycles. The printing has not faded. The measurement lines are not as accurate as I wanted but they are close. If you need really good accuracy I would get something else.

We have owned these measuring cups for many years. They used to be sold under the Bennington brand. I just looked at the oldest one we have, and the labeling has faded a little, but it's still quite legible. And we use, and dishwash, these things every day! We love them.

I have had a couple of these over the years and the measurements are as clear as the day they arrived. Accidental breakage was the reason for the replacement not quality of the Flameware.

Yes, each handle is marked with what measurement the cup is from 1/4 to 1 Cup, if that is what you mean. There are no other measurements printed on them, though. For instance, no lines inside that mark off measurements. They are also a heavier weight than I anticipated, FYI. I like them that way, but I was surprised. Hope that helps!

I have only used on coffee cups and then baked the cups in oven. The markers stay on cup great even after several dish washings.

No, they are permanent. I wipe them with a damp cloth so have not had trouble with them rubbing off. The printing is small enough and flush with the surface so that they could easily be covered with a label. Hope this helps.

They're printed on the bottle, not etched in. I've used mine consistently for over a year and there is no wear on the numbers.

They are wonderful. I think they are 100%, not sure but they go through the dishwasher and I use them a lot. Wish I would have spent the money sooner to have them. I have been through many sets of measuring cups.

The glass is. One painted on the top. It is on the bottom. I haven't scratched the bottom, so I don't know if there will be a mark. If the top is scratched there will not be a mark.

I have had mine for 2 years and the writing has rubbed off, but not in enough places that I can't tell what they are. You could always go back over it with a sharpie. Mine are always hand washed, so I have never had any melting issues. I love these measuring spoons though and actually just purchased a set for my mom.

Mine are engraved so they will not rub off but the handles don't stay on very well as they appeared to be glued. 2 of mine have already fallen off and I've had just a couple of months.

The paint will stay if you "bake" it-- let the mugs air cure for 24 hours. Once dry, place them in a cold oven, shut the door, and turn the oven on to 325 degrees for 40 minutes. Turn the oven off but let them cool while still inside the oven. (There are different methods of "baking" the mugs, but this is the one I used on a wine glass. You can run searches on Google or Pinterest to find other methods. There is also a marker remover made by the same company that you may want to purchase just in case you need to re-do....Hope this helps!)

There are two measures imprinted into the handle of each cup in the set, one is in cups and the other is in "ml." I'm not sure why the other responses say only in cups. They either have something different or do not realize the second measures in ml are imprinted opposite the cup measurement. Hope this is helpful.

I put them in the dishwasher. My dishwasher does melt other items but these are thicker. Plus the designs haven't worn off yet.

My set is fairly new, so no, it hasn't rubbed off. I know putting things in the dishwasher can eventually erode lettering, it has happened to my plastic measuring cups. With these spoons, I actually hand wash them and put them back up on my magnet strip. Just a thought, could you apply clear polish over the lettering perhaps, and maybe take to hand washing them if you don't already? Good luck!

I found that regular sharpies worked better, actually. It seems these markers wore off far more quickly...sadly. I have a few mugs that I did this past summer that still have designs on them. I put my cups through the dishwasher, intentionally, to test the durability. I have to say, regular sharpies work better.

I threw away the one cup measure before a year was up because all the markings came off. The others still have theirs. They are put in the dishwasher.

There are no marking-lines indicating exact measurements but, compared to other standard measuring cups, if you fill the OXO measuring cups to the rim you should have an exact measurement.

I've had mine for about 2 months. All of the print is still there, so far, but I also hand wash it immediately after use. I could see how the print could rub away, but, as with anything, if you care for it carefully, then it will last much longer. (I was actually concerned about this issue before buying since I saw some of the reviews saying that these measuring cups were losing the printing on them.)
