[quote=Anonymous]Ugggh I knew about lead crystal, but I had no idea about lead in antique and painted china. Going to buy testing kits now.

I use a mix of three different patterns from Bernardaud and Royal Copenhagen literally every single day (bread, salad and dinner each in its own pattern). All of it is all-white and received as new wedding presents, so I’m hopeful that these don’t contain lead. I have some Juliska as well. Everything goes in the dishwasher.

I was also handed down some simple, gold-rimmed china from Herend, and a scattering of Rothschild bird to go with it. Part of me would absolutely love to add some green fishnet to the mix, but it is so expensive, I don’t know that I’ll ever be able to justify paying for it.

The set I’m quite concerned about is some Real Old Willow that I think is beautiful because I have such happy childhood memories attached to it. (Thankfully?) I haven’t reached for it too too much recently.

Like PPs above, I grew up in a family that had different breakfast china, as did my grandparents. It actually feels weird to me that I don’t do it now.

Anyway I’m thankful to find this thread for flagging the lead issue, and also for reminding me that I bought a bunch of Spode Woodland dinner plates last year that are perfect for fall. I’ll bust them out after I test them for lead.

Btw I’m a millennial, and a lot of people I know registered for both formal and informal china. Some regional variations in the NE and the South, but Mottahedeh, Wedgwood, and Juliska were popular across the board.[/quote]
