Why are some mugs stamped Fiestaware and some are not? Are they all made in the USA or are some imported from China?

I checked my cups and on the bottom it says" Homer Laughlin China", since 1871 USA. I would like to assume that Fiesta ware is made in this country, at least I hope so.

As I understand it all Fiestaware is made in the USA. China refers to the coating on this earthenware. Just like your grandmother fine dinnerware it has a porcelain coating.

I have no idea and I am a long-time user of Fiestaware. Where I am now, I have two. Both have the Homer Laughlin symbol, one very lightly so it can barely be read but only one of them as the words that usually appear around the logo. Neither says Fiestaware.

I've wondered the same thing, bostonmom. I have three and none say fiestaware.

I own a lot of Fiestaware, much of which has been purchased at Amazon, and all of which is genuine. Depending on the item and its color, the Fiesta logo may show up very well, or it may be very difficult to see. The imprint is very hard to see on darker colors such as lapis or plum. Fiestaware is made by the Homer Laughlin China Company, which is located in West Virginia, USA.

Homer Laughlin makes Fiesta ware, china stands for dish ware type chine not the country

As far as I know, they are all made in the USA and all should be stamped Fiestaware; otherwise, they could be a fake. But I am no expert, just a user of the product.

The 5 mugs we ordered say China by a company named "D. Burrows". A more complete answer is that the mugs we recieved clearly came from 2 different collections even though they were listed "Masters". One is "Masters Collection" and the other is "Masters Impressionists". Same company and both made in China but with different trademarks and collection titles. Although they look the same one mug line is slightly heavier than the other but with no real difference in appearance. We ordered these mugs to replace 2 Masters Collection mugs we used for over 25 years and held up great until we used an anti-spottting agent in the dishwasher and the mugs faded. We loved theses mugs since we bought them shortly after we were married and so we replaced them. We are very happy with the replacements. To much info? Sorry

I believe that there was a little sticker saying that they were made in the USA. I bought them over 2 years ago, so, I can't be certain. They're get mugs, though

I'm no expert on Fiestaware, but the new ones seem bigger and heavier than the Fiestaware I've seen in antique shops. I own several of these and their marks match the authentic marks I've found online. Although I think they differ depending on the decade they were made. This website has more info. http://jeanbakula.hubpages.com/hub/Fiestaware-by-Homer-Laughlin-China

I looked at my mug and I do not see a country name anywhere on it. I'm going to ASSUME China simply because so much comes from there these days. I prefer to buy from a democratic country when I can.

Sadly they are made in china. which is the reason I am now only buying Fiesta ware. May be a little more pricey but is great quality and made in USA.

The mug is made in China. The paper insert with instructions inside the mug said made in China.

The plates and bowls are made in America. The mugs/cups are made in China. The plates and bowls will be crack/break resistant while the mugs/cups are fragile.

I checked the underside of all my cups and saucers and there is no country listed. However, I found a link on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Lenox-Butterfly-Meadow-9-Inch-Divided/dp/B000C13WDE) that said the dishes are made in Indonesia. If you are interested in dishes made in America, Fiestaware dishes have been USA made since the 1800s!!

I bought the mugs for my daughter. She loves them. I really don't know the answer to your questions about spots or where they were made.

I don't see any teflon in mine. The plate on the back says it is made in China. Mine is a couple yrs old probably now, so check www.delonghi.com. I am concerned about China products also. Looking for new dishes now they are all from there & I wonder how often they are checked for being toxic. Fiestaware seems to be the only US made dishes now.

This is Mrs. Sirrine and it was my review of the products I bought for my husband and myself. The printing on the bottom of the small bowl is as follows (lowercase): fiesta, mfg in USA. Hope this answers your question. They are a worthwhile item and we use them all the time.

I called the company. No, they are not made in the U.S.A. and yes, China does produce these dishes. I chose them because I thought that they were NOT made in China. I love the set, however, my husband complains that the coffee mug always has a drip line of coffee.If shopping for square dishes watch out, some do not stack well in the dishwasher. These, just make it.

Mine were made in Indonesia. So were coffee mugs and small fruit dishes I ordered separately.

Cindy, the mug does not state where it is made, i.e. no stamping anywhere on it. The mug is marked dishwasher and microwave safe. For what it's worth it has worked out well for us since I bought it.

I don't know about where it's made. Personally I would believe the company. Not the reviews. The inside of the mug is stainless.
