mirth Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Does it seem like they purposely place their price sticker to obscure the country of origin? I mean .. it is not necessary to hide where something is made. We are adults and can deal with it, and will peel back the sticker to find out anyway!

AuntieM Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Oh, that's so true! Along the same lines, I was wondering if we could assume that anything (dishes/serving pieces) made in the USA would be lead free. Anyone know for sure?

mirth Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 I wouldn't assume any glaze US or otherwise is free if lead or cadmium unless there is at least a claim made on labeling. But i can only think of Fiestaware and Corelle in the US anyway and they do make these claims. I think Pb and Cd are used to give glaze more even coverage, so maybe white glaze is least likely to contain those metals. Potters please correct me. I thought decades ago fiestaware had some sort of clay from a radioactive soil, so glaze is not always the only culprit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
