Hi…I love your heart dishes but can’t find where to buy them
Thank you
These are not safe they are toxic. This post is not to tell you to buy them – but to tell you they are potentially unsafe if you have them.
Do you have the bowl that comes with it in the heart dishes?

What about other Mesa dinnerware? I just recently purchased some beautiful off-white Dots & Scrolls pattern dishes by Mesa from Goodwill, should I return them? The company’s Mesa’s Ceramics Facebook page says they don’t have lead or cadmium in their products and that their materials are naturally sourced .
