I looked it up on the internet and sure enough, Pfaltzgraff moved their factory operations offshore in 2005 or so. The chinese-made dishes looked pretty decent at first. However, within a few months they started to get crazing (glaze cracking).

Where is Pfaltzgraff made?

Pfaltzgraff dishes are not made at the Pennsylvania factory anymore. They are now made in China and the quality and craftsmanship of the venerable York, PA factory did not transfer to the Chinese factory.
