I have 2 of the smaller 5x8 catalogs from 1996 and 1998 and Jane is right....they don't mention a temperature.
I looked in a full size catalog F/W 1998 and it does not say either. But it mentions "Stoneware Sensations" cookbook. So, I looked in the cookbook and it has a whole section on the stoneware, it does not mention temp. It says "cannot be used under the broiler or directly over a heat source...". But, that is in the cookbook, not catty.
