March 1, 2018 at 6:16 amMy 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.

March 2, 2018 at 1:15 pmMost 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.

November 25, 2018 at 10:12 pmI 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.

Tamara says

Tamara says
December 12, 2018 at 1:11 pmI 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/

October 28, 2019 at 10:44 pmI 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?

September 28, 2019 at 4:56 pmYou 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.
