You are so welcome, Mominohio.

It is so nice to have the 5 year chip guarantee too. I knew the fact that Fiesta is vitrified was a great selling point, but it was great to read the other details too.

I would not buy food or food-related products manufactured in China. Nothing against the Chinese, but their safety and environmental standards are lax, to say the least.

To the OP ............. You already know it's not made in America .... does it matter if it's made in China or Japan? What is the difference to you?

[debic]

Even stuff made in China is shipped to US companies and employing them, so if no one buys anything made in China that will put Americans out of work. It'd be great if we had more made in the USA but we don't.

It's funny that I have some antique items marked "CHINA" on them. They were produced and purchased many years before the communists ruled there. We drive a Hyundai whose parts are mostly made in South Korea, but assembled here in the US. I guess the global economy is here to stay.

Another reason I won't buy...want AMERICAN not CHINA...

Proud of AMERICAN products!!

I think most Americans are proud of America but in reality not all products that are MIA are better than if they are made somewhere else

And weather or not anyone here wants to admit it - MIA products are much more expensive. We live in a global economy - we buy their products and they buy ours. Some of you should go visit a city where there are merchant ships leaving this country and see them packing all those hundreds of trailers to go overseas - and see the thousands of cars we export to other countries. Are you aware that over 6 million Americans are employed by companies that make cars and the products used in cars in the USA? For instance my DH's company manufactured wire - their main customers were Ford, Chrysler and GM. Had any one of thse 3 failed DH's company would have probably closed too. When our government saved the auto industry it wasn't just the jobs at the auto plants that were saved - there were also the companies that supply the auto industry. Many people in this country are woefully uninformed about how our economy really works and they think if they buy American products that all the companies that went to china or mexico or india will come back. Not all the companies that manufacture in other countries only have plants there. Another company I know well wanted to stay here but they were spending too much shipping products overseas for their customers to use over there so ultimately they opened a small plant in China just for that purpose - but they still operate a huge plant here in Fort wayne as well.

Of course they are made in China and look it.

China may still be able to use lead based paints. Until I know for sure that Temp-tations hand painted designs are done with lead-free paints, I will not buy. Must say, though, I am drawn to the Temp-tations sets when I go to the QVC outlet, but still have not bought.
