Get the Lead Out!
Check this out for yourself. Crazy that we banned lead from paint/gas/water pipes, but left it in things we eat and eat off of!
De-regulations was not a good idea, banks/airlines..etc.
Is lead in all stoneware, or only those with colorful and intricate designs?
I have some Stoneware and Ceramic Plates, and I realize that essentially 90% of glazed dinnerware is contaminated with lead, in sufficiently high enough quantities that people have actually gotten lead poisoning from eating off of and storing food in these things.
I have a few Stoneware plates that were made in Japan, and are probably seven or eight years old. They are solid white, and although they have a few ridge-like designs imprinted as embroidery around the top edges, have no colors. Does this mean that they're probably lead free, or could the glaze still be ridden and laden with lead content?
Lead was found to be just as prevalent in the glaze of ceramic and stoneware dinnerware made in the United States and in Europe, as it was in products imported in from developing countries with less stringent standard
