All of our dishware is Food, Oven, Microwave and Dishwasher Safe. Items listed as Houseware may contain glazes that do not meet the same high safety standards, but can be utilized as marked on that item. For example, a bowl may be Food and Dishwasher Safe, but is not Microwave or Oven Safe because of an ingredient in the glazing compound. That means that the item can be used to serve food and can be washed in the dishwasher, but cannot be used in the Microwave or Oven. For more information on Pottery Safety, click here.
