Then I am sure they are new. I have to say that even though I love my
Fiestaware, both old and new, Homer Laughlin Company doesn't produce
flawless pieces, although with a flaw on the eating surface, I'm wondering
if there's a chance if they are "seconds". As I said, I have similar flaws
on the outside surface and bottom of a few pieces. Still, they would be
safe to use.
AFAIK, all American made dishware must be made from non toxic
clay and glazes.
