During the production of our dinnerware, nothing goes to waste.Īs our ceramics are made, all excess clay clippings, broken plates, and water used during production are recycled and reused. Our products are built to last, meant to be used every day, and are products you can feel good about having in your home. They’re about 1.6 times stronger than non-toughened glassware, meaning they won’t break as easily-but keep in mind that all glass is still fragile to some degree, and may crack or break if dropped onto a hard surface. Made in Japan using a special ion-toughening technique, both the Tall and Short Glasses are made to be scratch resistant and highly durable for everyday use. Your new glassware is dishwasher safe, in both household and commercial settings. If washing by hand, do not use abrasive brushes and be sure to rinse and dry immediately afterwards. We recommend rinsing them first, not overcrowding the baskets, and not mixing in other metals such as gold and silver. To help reduce water spots, we recommend using a rinse aid-plain white vinegar also works-in your dishwasher. If they come into contact with substances that may stain, please clean quickly to avoid any long-term marks.įeel free to put your new flatware sets in the dishwasher or clean them by hand-you do you. The bases of our ceramics are intentionally left unglazed-it is a design detail we hope you appreciate as much as we do. While all semi-matte ceramics are susceptible to superficial marks from your flatware, they can be easily taken off. Your new ceramics are dishwasher, microwave, and oven-safe (up to 450✯). At Fable, all of our materials meet-and exceed-these requirements. Businesses can use the term “lead free” when their products comply with rigorous criteria that limit trace lead and cadmium levels and leachability. With all glazed ceramics, including our stoneware, the term “lead free” refers to very specific regulations set by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and even stricter rules set by Prop 65. You can view our product testing results here. This rigorous testing ensures that the lead and cadmium leachability of our products is below detectable thresholds, and well below the maximum regulatory threshold of what is considered safe by the FDA and Prop 65. This is the only authorized testing method for lead and cadmium leaching that’s globally recognized. For lead and cadmium leachability in particular, our products undergo specific third-party testing known as the Standard Test Method for Lead and Cadmium Extracted from Glazed Ceramic Surfaces (ASTM C738-94). They’re tested for lead and cadmium, and are compliant to GCGR, FDA, and Prop 65 regulations. All of our products undergo strict testing to ensure that they’re lead safe.
