For those new to the Lead Safe Mama website:

Tamara Rubin is a multiple-federal-award-winning independent advocate for childhood Lead poisoning prevention and consumer goods safety, and a documentary filmmaker. She is also a mother of Lead-poisoned children (two of her four sons were acutely Lead-poisoned in 2005).


The amount of Lead considered toxic in a modern/ newly manufactured item intended for children is anything 90 ppm Lead or higher in the paint, glaze, or coating.

I haven’t tested enough modern miniature ceramic tea sets to make a recommendation for a new replacement (there’s a chance that the miniature industry considers these items “not intended for children,” so it is possible they still contain high levels of Lead, even today), however, here is a nice choice for a Lead-free child’s play set.
