I don't know, but you could give the pottery a microwave test. Put one cup of water in the pottery cup or bowl, put it in the microwave for one minute 15 seconds. take it out. Feel the water, if it is only lukewarm and the cup or bowl feels hot, it is NOT microwave safe ( the pottery is absorbing the microwaves instead of the water ). If the water feels hot, it is microwave safe.
Frankoma was an American company producing pottery. They became known especially for their sculptures though they also produced figurines and vases. The company was formed by J. Frank, hence its name was Frankoma.

Since older pottery was made before microwaves existed, sometimes their glazes can be a problem if you try to microwave them. When in doubt, I wouldn't do it, since you may crack your pottery if it gets too hot.
not really. it just depends on the dish...like if its glass, stone, plastic, etc.
Frankoma Pottery was created in 1933.
Frankoma pottery is known for its distinctive designs and craftsmanship. It was a popular American pottery brand that operated for many decades. Frankoma pottery is typically made from clay and is glazed to create a smooth, finished surface. However, whether or not it is safe to eat off of Frankoma pottery depends on various factors: **Glazes:** If the pottery is glazed, it's important to know whether the glaze used is food-safe. Most modern pottery intended for use with food is made with food-safe glazes, but older pieces may not adhere to the same standards. Lead-based glazes, once common in older pottery, can be a concern as lead is toxic. **Condition:** The condition of the pottery is also important. If there are cracks or chips, bacteria can accumulate in these areas, making it unsafe for use with food. **Intended Use:** Some pottery is purely decorative and not intended for food use. Check for any markings or information on the bottom of the piece that might indicate its intended use. **Manufacturing Date:** If you know the manufacturing date of the Frankoma pottery in question, you may be able to determine whether it was produced during a period when certain materials or glazes were used that may not be considered safe today. To determine the safety of using Frankoma pottery for eating, you may want to consult with a pottery expert, contact the manufacturer (if still in business), or conduct research on the specific piece and its production era. If in doubt, it's generally safer to use pottery that is explicitly labeled as food-safe or to use vintage pieces for decorative purposes only.

Frankoma pottery
The short answer is "YES!". Both the 2011 Frankoma Elephant and Donkey mugs do exist in very limited quantities! As you probably know, the Frankoma plant was shuttered in March 2010. And, the equipment and pottery stock were sold in May 2011. But, a small number of 2011 mugs were made prior to the closure. The 2011 color is a Jade Green. During October 2011, a Donkey and Elephant set was listed on eBay. It is my hope that Frankoma Pottery will re-start during 2012. If you have any questions, contact me at: dggx42@gmail.com

Yes. It is the pottery you can’t eat from because it has a high content of lead. I wouldn’t put depression glass in the microwave though.
