        <content>They have nice sets for reasonable prices, too reasonable perhaps. They say they import on their website. I'm not knowledgeable of these things, but I suppose it must be because of the backlash from stoneware made in China?

Edit: As this article indicates: http://wildinthecity.ca/2007/11/19/there-is-no-more-lead-in-my-dinnerware-i-think

Dansk apparently makes lead-free products, while many others cannot say this, and yet they are made in Thailand. Being a consumer is hard work these days.</content>

      <content>My parents have had the same Dansk dinnerware and flatware since the early '80s and they're holding up fine. I am especially in love with their more Scandinavian vibe from the '60s and '70s--check those out on ebay if you're so inclined. 

(I don't know if Dansk was made in Europe at that point, or what...)</content>

      <content>Dansk is an American company. The country of manufacture should be labeled on the piece.

I am luck to have inherited one of the original (made in Denmark) Kobenstyle enameled steel paella pans. </content>
