Do they use lead free glaze in the manufacturing of the teapot?

Yes, it is food safe. If there were lead in the glaze it would be required by US law that it be labeled, "For decorative use only".

The entire set is lead-free. Unfortunately I have no answer to the second part of your question. In overall - it is excellent dinnerware for every day or for special occasions.

Ask the manufacturer, as such information isn't provided. I expect they'll say lead-free. Just don't lick the faucet!

On the Grosche website, they only mention that it is borosilicate glass, just as Amazon indicates. I do not know if that means it is lead-free, though. I recommend emailing them at sales@grosche.ca to verify.

Here's the company website. Doesn't say lead free that I could see but you could call and ask.http://www.wollcookwarestore.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=53

The Amsterdam Tea Cup and Saucer is made of lead-free "Porcelain", but not too thin or too fragile. Love it ! Use mine with silicone "tea-buddy", for individual serving in cup or mug, works great !

Lead in ceramic glazes has been outlawed for a long time, so the answer is NO.

lead would be in the glaze, not the clay (no such thing as lead added to clay, and glazes are less likely to have any added to). As it is not legal for any cookware in the US to contain lead, unless it is made elsewhere and not quality checked, I would say, no, there isn't any lead. I have been a ceramic artist for ten years.

I have read there is lead to some degree, in nearly all ceramics. For our safety and product longevity, we always use a 'crock pot liner' or 'cooking spray' for ease of cleaning. To avoid scratching the glass finish we never use metal cooking tools or harsh cleaning products.

I looked up Joyce Chen Stoneware and it states that all of her pots are have a lead free glaze!

"BPA free" is a gimmick. Read the science:http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/bpa-free-plastic-containers-may-be-just-as-hazardous/?&WT.mc;_id=SA_WR_20140813Don't ask if it is BPA free, but rather if any plastic comes in contact with water, including the lid where hot steam condenses back in. This and all the electric I have seen have this problem. Some stove top teapots do not have plastic at all and I would recommend those.

Gosh, I've never heard of one made for use in the United State that was made with lead. That was a problem for much older dishes. Lead glaze is still used for other things but not for such that people are to COOK with since it was shown to be dangerous, and I'm pretty sure they made some laws about it.

The amount of lead is not harmful. The only way this could even be a threat (very small chance) is if the crock glazing is pitted anywhere. It would still be less dangerous than the pots that I purchased in 1980 when I first married. Use crock pot, it is safe if you take care by examining the glaze after each washing. I love my crock pot which I purchased through Amazon. (Hamilton Beach 33249)

No. I would never use any vessel made of ceramic, porcelain, pottery or any other suchlike material on the stovetop. Boil your water in a teakettle, then pour it into the teapot for serving. Better to be safe than sorry!

No mention of lead in the user manual, but ceramic pots "might" contain lead. Visit this link and decide for yourself. http://tinyurl.com/bp9eqg2

It doesn't say if its lead free it is made in china but you also need to order the pot to cook it in on your stovetop.
