This question interested me. Here is the answer I found on Le Creuset's Canadian website: "Is Le Creuset lead and cadmium free? Cadmium and lead are two elements under strict control in the cookware industry. Our position today for the entire production process is to be in compliance with California Proposal 65 which is the most rigid standard in the world for these elements (approx. 10 times lower than "acceptable" limits). Lead is NOT used in our recipes and for cadmium a special anti-acid enamel fritt is used which will not release the cadmium pigment during cooking. Cadmium is used for coloration purposes in achieving bright exterior colours such as Flame and Cherry. The interior enamel which makes contact with food is either sand, white, or black."

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

I think the only glassware that contains lead would be some crystal. THese are very nice glasses, none have broken or chipped.

Sorry they are not marked, I do not know the answer to the questions. Although they are white glaze inside. I have not heard of a lead based glaze, if that helps any.

Without analyzing glaze or pottery chips, there is no practical way to determine lead content in ceramics. I don't recall that a product standard was delivered with the canisters when we received them.

lead free? probably. Getting a supply of glaze with lead would probably be difficult. If it were some weird, uncommon color, I might be more skeptical. Made in America? doubtful. Anyway, I didn't know this until recently but some of the kiln factories in china are hundreds of years old and quite famous. If your cup has no mention of a kiln, it's not from one of the highly regarded kiln factories. price is indicative.

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.

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".

Hi, Yes it is lead-free, and what a wonderful rice cooker. I broke the lid not long after purching it, but it still cooks the rice excellently. Just follow the strage to me, instructions - lol

Libbey often advertises their glassware as lead free but it's not specifically listed for these, I'm pretty sure they are lead free however. Significant amounts of lead in crystal glass and glazing on some crockery are the only products I would be concerned about.

It is labeled as stoneware, so lead content I don't know. It is microwave and dishwasher safe so I should hope it is non-toxic. I love this dish, it brightens up the table. I would buy another one if this one broke.

The blue swirl is inside the glass...been thru the dishwasher many times and still looks great. I have no idea about the lead free...but I would assume so! These glasses are awesome!

Yes, definitely! You only have to be worried about the glaze you use being non-toxic. Red, for example, sometimes has lead in it. So just make sure whatever glaze you use specifically says it's food safe!
