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.

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.

The bottom is flat. The IS an embossed logo there, but it's pressed in, so nothing is sticking up. The lettering is flush with the surface.

The tiles are engraved, so if you run your finger across the surface you will "feel" the graphic. This is a much higher quality than painted tiles.

You are right in a way. The coating is somewhat transparent and you could still see the picture if you focused. But for someone who dont know what to expect especially if they havent encounter this kind of mugs it is a great surprise. Whenever i gift it to someone i see expressions that nothing else provide! But it all depend on what picture you choose and what words you write on it. Hope this was helpful. Aljanabi

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 don't know about the glaze, but the underside of the top piece doesn't have a glaze on it. And since the water does sometimes touch the unglazed part, who knows what the cat is digesting. That is why I stopped using mine. One of my cats developed cancer in her intestines. Coincidence? Maybe, but I still won't use this anymore.

This was hard to tell because the black plastic covers the bottom outside so you can't tell visually. But I drained it and felt around inside (there are some odd ridges and bumps) and it all felt like glass. Hope this helps.

The bubbles on the back are actually more indented than raised. You can feel that there's texture but they don't really stand out.

This light shows through on the edges of the letters. It is possible to see the letters in the dark, but it is not %100 clear. Hope that helps!

HI Susan, I put some on an envelope, with a picture, to see what happened.. it looks as if it leaves a crackled type of finish. It may distort the color or finished look of the puzzle.Debi

I tried writing our name on the bottom of an acylic plastic cup that we take to church dinners, etc., and it wrote well and dried well. However the ink coloring wasn't as dark as I would have liked. My cup was a green color, though. If you have frosted finish or clear glasses, you may be very pleased. Hope this helps!

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.

Could be, that the ink is too cold. Keep it in your pocket for a bit and see if that helps.

It is totally blank. You can get it engraved. As you can see the bottom is wider than the top.
