Everything I have is plastic. <br><br>I look forward to using "the good stuff" once my younger son flys the nest. <br><br>I'm not a big Fiesta fan. My gran had it back in the 70's. Seems to me they found out it had high levels of lead -- in the older stuff, not the stuff they sell now.<br><br>That might explain a couple things in my gene pool -- if ya know what I mean.
