“Lead Free” Fiestaware small white ceramic plate: 33 ppm Lead. Almost Lead-free / but not quite! The company probably did leach testing and it did not leach any lead. I would feel safe eating off of these plates if I visited your home, but would not choose to own them personally.
The amount of lead considered unsafe in items intended for children is 90 ppm lead or higher. (So this plate WOULD be considered lead-safe by all available standards, even though technically there is not a a limit for total lead content in dishes made for use by adults when using an XRF for testing.)

Is regular Fiesta ware unsafe? That’s all my in-laws use. . . . .
Have you checked again on the white color this year?
No I haven’t. That’s a good idea though!
I was just about to go out and by some Fiestaware plates. I was leaning towards the white, thinking it would be safer. Can you please post your results /if/when you retest these?
Have you tested the plates from Denby USA?
Thanks for all that you do.
Hi. Why do you feel they need to be retested? Just curious. This result is typical of most of the newer Fiestaware… in the “Lead-Safe” range, but not always in the “Lead-Free” range when tested with an XRF.
I was planning to get the white plates mentioned in this post. I hoped that white would fare better than the brighter colors. Thank you for your reply.
Curious, as well, about the new white Fiestaware being safer than the colors. I guess it’s not always true. Well then what colors seem to be safer and which colors tend to test positive for lead? I already know to stay away from orange and purple.
