This majolica is lead-free and safe for food, oven and dishwasher. The microwave is not recommended. All pottery is vulnerable to uneven or rapid heat changes.
These precautions should be followed:
Do not put cold liquid into hot vessels or cold vessels into a hot oven. If cooking a cool, dense food, such as meat, surround it with some liquid. Do not place pots directly over a flame or heat element or under a broiler. These instructions are included with each piece.
