You can see in the 4th picture it says "For decorative purposes only". I can only assume they mean that the paint will start to come off if you put them in the dishwasher. I can't imagine the paint, which is only on the outside, would be toxic on something like this. Even if you only use them decoratively, they are beautiful for that. Orders coming in before 2pm pst are usually shipped out same day. Orders coming in Friday afternoon or Saturday morning can sometimes be shipped out and Saturday, but most likely they will be shipped out on the following Monday morning. There are no shipments going out on Sunday.
