I am a bit leery since they are made in china. Has anyone made sure the glaze doesn't have lead?

I did not make sure they didn't have lead. I was A assuming since they were a major brand, Anchor Hocking, they wouldn't have lead based paint. They really cute

I just use them for prep ( onions, garlic etc) so I don't realty worry about the glaze

They are made in China! Isn't everything? But I must say I am very pleased with the quality and no rust after quite a few dishwashings!

They're made in Waterbury, CT. I'm not sure if they contain lead and cadmium but I'm able to microwave them without the pieces becoming too hot to handle. They're very durable. I've knocked them together many times with no chipping or cracking. I love them.

probably porcelain or ceramics. I'm not sure exactly. Because they are made in Japan, I don't think they contain any heavy metal.

I assume they are made in China; but they are stainless steel, not tin, not plated so they are safe. And I love mine, BTW; use it every day!

They appear to be made from pottery clay and painted. We have used them with no ill effects; but I don't know if they are lead free.

I would not be certain they are lead free if they are from China. There was a big to-do years ago when it was discovered that the Polly-Pocket merchandise (interchangeable clothing that felt rubbery like silicone, though I can't say what they were made from) had lead in them. You would think that baking products wouldn't have lead (common sense) but China has different laws in this. I know that certain supplements and naturopathic things from China one ingests may contain lead and may not be labeled.

The blue swirl is in the glass itself. 50-ish dishwasher rides later, they are still as blue as ever. I don't know about the lead content - sorry!

Hi Sandy,In the older pieces made in theUS there is no lead, but the newer pieces are being made in China and do have small amounts of lead in them. I hope this helps.Bella

It says on the bottom of the dishware that they are made in China. Mine have been pretty durable in the dishwasher and against silverware marks.

They are made in china. and the fact that it does not read lead free may be an indication that they are lead based. Thank you for bringing up this topic. i have searched the internet high and low and cannot find anything on the manufacturer and contents the dinner ware.

Don't know where they are made. My guess would be china. I have put mine in the dishwasher with no problems many times so most likely they are stainless steel.

Unfortunately, no. They're made in China like everything else. However, I use mine daily and have for the last 2.5 years and I think they're great. Solid, heavy and hard to chip or crack. I love them!

I would not think that they contain lead. They were not made in a third world country. I love the glasses. Brings back memories of the ones we used while I was growing up.

I am guessing they do not contain lead, since toys made overseas are put through a rigorous testing process before being sold here. (My dad was a manager of a wholesale distribution company, which is how I know all about this.) It says on the box that they are made in China. The back of the box states, "Melissa and Doug products meet or exceed all U.S. toy testing standards and pass our high quality requirements." I bought these almost three years ago though, so maybe the packaging states something different now. Good luck!

I assume so. Honestly, I just can't imagine that they'd have lead in them. They are a very quality products & absolutely beautiful. I love them!! I would never knowingly have anything that had lead in the glass to drink out of, of course. This is seemingly an extremely high quality way that the color is made into the glass itself, so there is no paint flaking issues like other brands or products have had.

Fiesta has not used lead in glazes for years. Go to their web site for exact info.
