is this clay non-toxic? can be used to make, a cup, for instance?

Yes, definitely! You only have to be worried about the glaze you use being non-toxic. Red, for example, sometimes has lead in it. So just make sure whatever glaze you use specifically says it's food safe!

No it is not Non Toxic. Meaning that it is the traditional style of Dupont coating & only the new Ceramic based non-stick coatings are non toxic. Also an indication that a coating is the older style coating is if it limits the oven safe temperatures, and this 1 is only safe up to 400 degrees because of the coating.

I wouldn't use this clay for anything. Period. I've worked with various types of clay and this is by far the worst. If you want the ornament to last without cracking, use Sculpey or Fimo. While those do need to be baked to cure, they will also last a lot longer.

I believe so, its a clay mug. I have only put it into the microwave once and there was not damage to it. To that extent, I say I am not sure.

Yes, non toxic. They clean up great! Just use an apron on kids! They can get messy if they use too much water, I recommend parent supervision.

I would say No... it is an industrial water sealant with some seriously toxic compounds in it. Once hardened it may still be able to leech into your liquids within the mug. I'd hold off on that and buy some used mugs for much cheaper at Value Village or something

No. I would never use any vessel made of ceramic, porcelain, pottery or any other suchlike material on the stovetop. Boil your water in a teakettle, then pour it into the teapot for serving. Better to be safe than sorry!

I can say yes to Crayola. I haven't used any other kind, but I don't see why you couldn't - basically have to keep you hands wet to mold the clay. As long as you have that type of clay, it should work.

as its non toxic I have only used water, lotion, oil, and combinations of them. I make a lot of face paint with them

My daughter used it on a glazed ceramic cup and it worked great, it hasn't washed off, very much intact.

As long as it doesnt get wet or smashed very hard. It wont be as durable as the clay. Not as hard of a material. What you finish it with would help the durability.

It is solid wood and very durable and yet I do believe it is non toxic. I am just a consumer like yourself so that's the best I can give as far as an answer... My son LOVES it as well if that helps at all

I purchased mine about 3 mo. ago. I use it daily for frothing milk and I hand wash it daily. It gets to temperatures over 150 deg. daily. The markings are as clear as new. Therefore I don't suspect any residue or toxic issues.

It is non-toxic according to the labeling, so sure, 100% ok as far as what is listed. Also, if you want a non-toxic filler that is cheaper, also use or mix this with different areas using a hot glue gun and a cheap pack of home depot or loews hot glue gun sticks, making sure they are the right diameter to fit in the gun.

As far as safe - this should be theoretical, who would know the difference between the process of ceramic vs. clay? My feeling is that clay theoretically SHOULD be safer/healthier, in that the process of manufacturing is minimal in comparison to ceramic. But then ceramic is so much 'nicer and cleaner looking'. Safe may be a question of time - over a long period of time. Sorry I have no idea as to the 'safe' aspect but the manufacturing process should be a factor. by Ken W

It is labeled as stoneware, so lead content I don't know. It is microwave and dishwasher safe so I should hope it is non-toxic. I love this dish, it brightens up the table. I would buy another one if this one broke.

Yes. There is a rubber plug in the bottom of the cup and a sticker that should be removed before baking but the body of the cup is one piece ceramic. I did the same thing. It worked great.
