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 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!

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!

No, not super easy to read, & I am very young. Your best bet is probably the clear cups with red markings like a Pyrex cup.

Not sure exactly what quality, but my guess would be first..the bowl is stunning.

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.

If it is evenly grayish, I would be inclined to think it is just discoloration. I wash mine in the dishwasher and don't have any of that. Mold would get worse. Just keep it clean.

Absolutely no writing or markings. One side is textured and the other is side is smooth and clear. Hope this helps.

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.

I am not sure. The bottom seems to be of a heavy metal. There are several symbols and words that are all embossed in , I think, are German or Scandanavian.. I can read " lifetime guarantee". I have had it a year or more with no issues.

When I used a mixer, it removed the red coloring from the bowl. Basically it scratched up the sides of the bowl.

I have part of an older set from my Mom ... 2007? no mark on bottom, only lines from foot inward. Also have salad/soup plates with same center designs and wavy edge - no markings.

Hi Lisa's. The letters are deeply inscribed and painted. I have had it for about 2 years and its still gorgeous. I figured if the letters worn off, I could just use a magic marker to to fill it in. So far, it's still perfect and well worth the money.

It's marble veneer. Very thin (~1/4" thick) slabs of marble glued to cover a thicker wood slab on the top and sides. Under the bottom the wood and glue or epoxy is visible, but you have to be under it to see. You can see on the sides where the edges of the marble veneer pieces meet if you look very closely, but otherwise it has the appearance of a solid marble slab. Setting tableware on it I can tell from the sound it is not solid stone, but not sure anyone else would notice.

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.

I had this problem too. Went to Chefs; they tightened the gray ring and showed me how to tighten it more by holding the bowl down and turning it. Also when you unlock it, don't push on it hard.

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".
