Not sure though.<br><br>I also don't know about the lead-free situation, but some determined googling or emailing to whatever addresses you can find should get you the answer to that.

I have lots of dishes and pots and platters and cups and vases that my parents & I bought when they lived in Santa Anita (outside of Guadalajara) from 1973 to 1980. I thought the factory we went to was inTlaquepacque & everyone always referred to it as the Palomar Factory, not Ken Edwards. Is that correct or was there another in Tonala? Was it Palomar first and then taken over by Edwards? I just inherited more wonderful pieces (unique sharpes that I don't see listed on other sites) from the 70's and wanted to know if the pieces from that era are lead free. Can you answer that? <br>I was just in Atitlan and sorry I didn't know Edwards was there. I have loved Palomar/Edwards pottery for years & have lugged it home in cardboard, rope bound, boxes many times. I just found your blog after looking up Ken Edwards.
