[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I called thrift shops to see if they were interested in my grandmother’s china. Once I found a place, I took it right over  and donated it. It makes me happy to think that someone who needed it was able to purchase it and hopefully uses it with joy. The alternative would have been storing it it in my basement, gathering dust.[/quote]

I would be hesitant to pass this on to other people who don't need lead poisoning.

That is a scary website. Wow. [/quote]

So now take a look at the china and glassware and coffee mugs you're using from China.[/quote]

OP here. I don't think modern stuff made in China is much safer. Remember the lead in toys scandal just a few short years ago.  I wouldn't store whiskey etc in crystal decanters. But I'm not worried about using lead crystal to drink a glass of water or wine from. Disclaimer: I have a set of green glowy uranium glass square containers.   They were the 1930s version of today's Tupperware.  I store maldon salt in one of my uranium glass containers.  The rest I use to store chocolates.  I don't eat hot food out of uranium glass though.

OP here. I had a friend pop over this afternoon.   She took a look at the crystal candlesticks collection, found her favourite and asked if I would sell. She looked at all if them and picked out her favorits.  I gladly gifted her her choice and she seemed delighted. Now I've only got 23 candlesticks left.  But I am keeping one more contemporary one for my own table.  [/quote]
