It is inspected by a third party lab and is certified as free of the following toxins: lead, cadmium,mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB, and PBDE (RoHs certified, passing all FDA and CA Proposition 65 standards). The Vitaclay website has more information in their FAQ section if this does not answer your questions.

I can't believe that this is a relevant question. UN-glazed clay is un-glazed clay. I have absolutely NO idea where it was mined. My problem is that the instructions said to add ingredients into a dry pot. I would think that we should soak the pot prior to cooking. I have been mildly satisfied with the rice and the versatility of the cooker. I bought the pot just to cook "Hong Kong" rice, which has a very flavorful crust around the sides. This cooker will not do that, so I will in all likelihood throw this one away. I also think the heat source is at the bottom and not at the sides, in correct for my use.

As it seems everything is nowadays, it's made in China, so I'm assuming the materials are Chinese as well. It has a porcelain pot and the majority of everything else is copper. We do love ours. It works very well and is very cosmetically appealing.

The company originated in Denmark and moved to Switzerland in the seventies, but this product is made in China...like most things these days. We try to avoid buying anything made in China, but sometimes... All our pots are made in France, but they cost a small fortune.

I do not recall if the box said where it was made. I looked at the tea pot for markings and there is only a little rectangle with some markings that can't be read. The set is absolutely gorgeous and my mother loved it.

Sorry to say but on the bottom of the pot it says Made in China. I have had several of these pots throughout my 51 years of marriage and they used to be Made in America. And when they were made here they lasted for years and you could get the elements replaced when they wore out. No more alas, we've become a throw away society. I will say this pot makes great coffee and keeps it nice and hot. Hope this helps.

I am not sure about the country of origin, but it is a beautiful pot. I think if comes from china. I use it whenever I have company and I do not have any dripping when I pour, I am very pleased and have also bought the matching mug. hope this helps, you can't go wrong with tea forte products.

I'm not sure, but I think it was made in China. Ours served us very well for a good amount of time, but then it developed tiny cracks and tea started to seep through in very small droplets. We decided to scrap it, thaough I thought it should have lasted much longer. We now have a cast iron tea pot (also made in China). I love it! I hope this helps.

China. We also purchased an eight cup pot that was made in England. The Chinese pot was very inexpensive but it is nowhere as durable and well made as the English pot.

I have no idea where it was made. But this is the best press we have ever had. We will likely purchase another one.

The company is based in Illinois. There is no lead in the clay used, its a special clay that is Eco friendly and had a good mineral composition that's actually good.

i spent quite some time waiting on the phone with stoneline. the answer to your question is that they were designed in germany but manufactured in china. i am so happy with the set i bought that i purchased two other pots. if you had not asked this question, i would have not thought about them.

This pot set is made in the USA: Toledo, Ohio. It is branded on the bottom of each pot. Cheers!

Sorry I gave this as a gift and I have no idea where it was made..............I bought it because it is a lighter weight then the ceramic crockpots and easy to travel with..........It fit the person whom I was buying it for! She loves it!

The box indicates that the ceramic coating is from Germany, but there is no information on the pot or on its box about where it was made or put together. It is extremely well made of heavy materials.

Sorry I don't know where it's made. Didn't keep the packaging when I got it a couple years ago. Love it because it's the only glass pot that is honest about the size and it's very big. I can tell you I've noticed the same pot sold under 3 different company names since I bought my first one years ago (and dropped--yikes!)
