Do not put food on those." I am glad you still have the red one. Red is good. ;)Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/15445291034631735026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129343457650244633.post-29383189435786828622016-09-26T03:21:56.638-07:002016-09-26T03:21:56.638-07:00Lead in pottery- I didn't know!

This also includes other countries as well. The amount of lead allowed in North America in dinner ware is regulated which will probably give most people peace of mind. If you are wondering about any of your dishes there are home lead testing kits available for dish ware. Google it if you want to read more.

Thank you. The FDA regulates the amount of lead allowed in dishware and has been doing so since the 1970's. I have read plenty of online accounts of children with lead poisoning in the United States and after testing everything in the house the dinnerware was found to be responsible. I would suggest doing a google search if you want to read more.

This is why it is so important not to use chipped, cracked or scratched dishware.

How wonderful that the mug has lasted you for 20 years! Amazing!
