Here are some of my Amazon Affiliate links to mugs that are the same as (or similar to) the lead-free or lead-safe mugs we use in our home OR similar to mugs I have found to be lead-free when testing them for others:

- Libbey 15-1/2-Ounce Tapered Mugs
- Libbey 13 oz. Robusta Classic Coffee Mug
- Luminarc Lead-Free Jumbo Mugs

- Insulated double wall glass coffee mugs
As always, please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you for reading and for sharing my posts.

I have a beautiful Konitz mug. Is it lead free?
I have no idea! 🙂
Can you send me a photo via email?
My mom makes pottery. She has her own kiln, does her own glazing. Do you think the newer glazes for pottery have lead? Certainly don’t want to throw out all the dishes she has made for us unless I have to.
Most potters know their glaze contents. Ask her. My mom was a professional potter for 40 years and all of the glazes she used were lead free.
Do you ever test at Hobby Lobby? There is a mug there that says “Pumpkin Everything” on it and I gotta have it.
No – I haven’t been there to test.
Are the mugs from Deneen pottery lead free?
Also Konitz porcelain mugs from Germany.
Thank you!
I only have results for products people send me to test, so if you cannot find them on the site I likely have not yet tested that design or brand.
Have you tested any large white ceramic mugs that have come back clean??
There are several on the list, please scroll through the mugs I have tested using the tags at the top of the post or the link to the list of mugs. Thanks. There are at least 80 posts about mugs here: https://tamararubin.com/category/mugs/
Are American Mug Pottery coffee mugs which made in USA lead free?
I am not familiar with that brand. My readers send me things to test and those are the things that are listed on my blog. If you are interested in participating and sending in some things to test, please check out this link: https://tamararubin.com/2017/07/subscribe-in-support-of-my-advocacy-work-you-can-become-eligible-to-send-in-a-box-of-your-things-for-testing/
I was just looking into American Mug Pottery since they were included in a listing of ‘lead free’ American made mugs. The Amazon listing claims “All mugs have been tested to be lead and cadmium free for your families safety.” but reviews just mention the glaze is, though I can’t find any info on their actual website regarding those claims even.
Here’s the website: https://www.americanmugandsteincompany.com/
And the Amazon listing: https://www.amazon.com/American-Mug-Pottery-Ceramic-Bistro/dp/B06XS4F3W6/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl1&tag=cooklogic-20&linkId=f0897de65d0378d5e02f161cb429dd96&language=en_US
Hope it’s ok to reply to an older comment; I just thought the information was still relevant. When companies/potters can apparently use the term ‘lead free’ in a misleading way it’s frustrating to find something that truly is (or at least non detectable). If Ellen’s mugs can come back completely lead free why not others?
You make it so easy for my to order the products you post that are safe just order the safe coffee mugs today. Saves me so much time than going out to shop for them. Thanks again for all the work you do having a child who had Burkitt’s non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma at 7 she is now 29. My son who is 34 had Type 1 diabetes at 21 months old then at 19 a heart transplant and diagnosed with Celiacs disease . They are happy with the choices we as a family have made with replacing our kitchen items with ones that are safe to use . I look forward to seeing more information here that i can share with my loved ones on Facebook , Pinterest and Twitter too.
Have you ever tested Noritake Sunset Mesa mugs/dinnerware? I have searched on line and on your tested mugs but can’t find anything.
How do you test for lead?
Hi Tamara ,
Thank you for your incredible work ! I’m getting rid of my ice cream scooper and spatulas .
I bought the ivory colored fiesta ware for my children a week ago and it says lead free . I also bought some new dishes for myself and guests Would I be able to send you a piece of my dishwater to have it tested ? I live near Salem in Oregon so not far away .
Thank you ,

Hi Tamara, Thank you for all your work. I am planning to buy IKEA VARDAGEN set for Dinnerware, Drinkwares. It mentions No Lead or No Cadmium added. Does it mean the raw materials might have it. Is the IKEA VARDAGEN set lead and cadmium safe?
Thanks!

I’m was actually going to ask the same thing. I already have these cups and a different clear glass cup, also from IKEA, that my kids use everyday.
If a product says no added lead or cadmium… it safe?
Have you tested Rae Dunn Mugs by chance? They are SO popular and we have a whole collection. Would be curious. Thanks 🙂
Hi Heather, yes – I have tested several Rae Dunn Mugs.
Here’s the “Rae Dunn” category on the blog (with several posts you can scroll through): https://tamararubin.com/category/rae-dunn/
Thank you for commenting.

Hi Tamara, Thank you so much for all of your valuable work. I was wondering if you have information about glass mugs made by Design™ (French company) found them at Target, and on their website(Target website) mentions that they are free of toxins, however, they don’t say clearly lead free! instead they say: “all Target food contact items have been tested by independent 3rd party laboratories and meet all FDA requirements for food contact items, including phthalates, BPA, and lead.”

Thank you again!

I am detoxing my home and on a budget I saw the links to amazon and cannot afford any of them. I own a gibson elite home set of dinnerware and on the q and a it says lead and cadmium free, but not conclusively. Can you check them? I am looking for the following items lead and cadmium or other contaminants free. Boiling pot, bakeware, cookware, glass measuring cup, some cork with matching glass bottles, anything I can afford, kitchen knifes, peeler etc. Appreciate any help.
