I had to clean out my hutch and storage cabinet for my flooring project.
Now I know I NEVER bake or put in dishwasher any of my pieces.
I'm putting them away now that project is done grouping them better. I noticed many of my FL pieces have crazing -- mostly on my FL red pieces! I have used them to serve of course and handwashed.
I'm annoyed ... even won't trust them to use as serving pieces.
What do you think- Could it be possible since the FL are not glazed in the "lace" portion the water permeates the stoneware and causes crazing?
Just a thought! I'm tossing them tomorrow but still annoyed! Like the foodsaver person always says "Ca$h in the TRASH!"

what's FL?

I don't have a problem with mine and I've had some for a long time. I collect FL blue. I have read here that people have problems and always wonder why. Maybe it's with the stacking in the cupboard. I do stack mine and they get knocked around when I put them away sometimes. But I use them for baking/cooking and serving.

I haven’t bought for a few years, but my older pieces no, but the last fireworks set, my 8x8 and my 9x13 both crazed. No old confetti, no old red polka dots. I don’t put them in the dishwasher and I don’t immerse them and soak. Who knows. I won’t be purchasing anymore. My favorite pieces are the platters and bread basket shapes. I have a few confetti pie plates, used a lot, not one bit of crazing. I use them often for casseroles, pies, quiches, and desserts.

I have had problems with other stoneware lines crazing after washing them in the diswasher - even the pieces that say dishwasher safe . I recently bought some small decorative Temptations loaf pans , howver I hand wash them along with all my other brands of stone ware.
I had a Potter tell me that crazing is because the item was not fired properly- problem in making it so high heats from diswasher or placing a very cold stoneware pan directly into a hot oven can cause the crazing .

I don't buy dishware or bakeware that I have to baby, e.g., not putting them in the dishwasher. For baking I use Polish Stoneware or Pyrex. Of course I don't put non-stick type cookware in the dw, but those things are easy to wash.

@homedecor1 My oldest Temp-tations, especially the bakers that I use regularly, are crazed. I still use them. Stoneware is going to craze.My grandmother's stoneware is crazed.

I never thought that yes I stack them -- so maybe I need to take more care!
Although, I have many other brands of stoneware (Fiesta, Food Network, Rachael Ray) and none of them have crazed after many years. I stack them too.
Again, wasn't bashing was just wondering perhaps the Floral Lace isn't as sturdy as the OW I've only had 1-2 pieces experience crazing or breakage.
