Mine say Made In China too.  Since they're porcelain, I didn't throw a fit, because most "china" is made in China.

Perhaps you should be more concerned that all Corning Ware (which includes these mugs in their dinnerware sets) is made by Dow Corning, and Dow Chemical and Dow Corning have just closed a merger with DuPont to become DowDuPont as of 8/31/2017.  The company will then split into three companies, making agricultural (including herbicides), materials science (including pharmaceutical chemicals), and specialty products.  Check all the company names in this answer in Wikipedia for more information.  Remember - Dow Chemical came up with Napalm.  Monsanto came up with Agent Orange, and is Dow's biggest rival in herbicides.  (Monsanto makes Roundup, too, of course.)  Bayer (Pharma) has offered Monsanto a buyout sum of 66 billion dollars in CASH, and the bid may still be rising.  (See Washington Post article of 09/14/2016 entitled "Bayer and Monsanto to merge in mega-deal that could reshape the world's food supply."  It may be a pinch to boycott Corning Ware.  I know my cupboards are full of it; it's a good product.

I lived and worked at Dow in Midland, Michigan for about a year between 2011 and 2012, shortly after a major downsizing of Dow's workforce, so I know just a little bit about the company.  I'm also a Michigander, and know how important Dow is to the small, pleasant town of Midland as far as jobs are concerned.  Dow is Midland; Midland is Dow.

Just some environmental things to think about, as well as the huge sucking sound of our jobs going East.  And, no, I did not vote for Donald Trump.  :-)
