[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you keep any china and crystal, you must use it often. As long as you ae using it, displaying it, repurposing it, gifting it...it is all wonderful.

Sorry to be a Debbie Downer, but a lot of this vintage fine china is full of lead. I wouldn't use it without knowing if it is toxic. When my parents died, I said no to a lot of old dishes and bakeware. https://www.verywellhealth.com/vintage-pottery-lead-poisoning-5206962[/quote]

This article is about glazed pottery and ceramic. Not fine China, which is glazed and produced differently [/quote]

Keep telling yourself that or read this https://tamararubin.com/category/vintage-dishes/  or this   https://www.becausehealth.org/vintage-dishware-lead-2648946105.html[/quote]

Interesting. Tamara Rubin wants to bring out her own line of lead-safe ceramic dishes. No conflict of interest in her making people afraid of using their current dishes and glassware!

"I had actually put a call into Health recently to discuss the possibility creating a Lead Safe Mama-branded line of dishes… I do intend to follow up with them about that as well. As with any glazed ceramics, it is always possible in the future that Lead and Cadmium levels can vary by batch and that is why I don’t choose these for my own home. [If I did a co-branded signature line of ceramics, I would adopt extra measures to ensure the items in my line were perpetually 100% Lead-free in both the substrates and glazes.]"[/quote]

She has been drawing attention to this issue for many years before any discussion on her own line.[/quote]
