Hello. I recently stumbled upon your site and was made aware of the problem of lead in dishes. We are moving to a smaller home soon, and we are going thru our belongings and purging. I am especially interested in purging any dishes or glasses with. As a matter of fact, I went today and purchased new dishes which you recommended, the all white Corelle set. I’m not keeping the mugs by the way. I also purchased some clear baking dishes made by Anchor Hocking.
The problem I am having now is trying to determine if some vintage glasses we have are safe to use. They are Wexford made by Anchor Hocking. These very glasses are what caused me to stumble upon your site. I was trying to figure out if they are lead crystal or just glass. If you have any insite into whether they are safe to use as everyday glasses, please let me know asap. Thanks ever so much and keep up the good work you are doing!!!
Hi, Tamara. I see this was tested a while ago in 2014, but still wondered if you by chance knew if it is an Arcoroc France plate? It looks very similar in the photo to their “seabreeze” pattern. Thanks for all your hard work!
I stumbled upon your site accidentally and learned that my vintage dishes are high in lead. Unfortunately, I can not afford to replace them with anything expensive. I have some ceramic plates, plain white, from the Dollar Tree, and the Walmart brand Mainstays has some white ceramic dishes that are $1.12 per piece in my local store, or less than $1 if bought as a set. These are frequently out of stock or low stock, so I know a lot of people buy them. Could you do testing on these particular white ceramic Walmart and/or Dollar Tree dishes since they are the most affordable options for the masses?
Here’s an article with test results for a plain white dish from the Dollar Stores: https://tamararubin.com/2020/11/2020-dollar-store-royal-norfolk-white-greenbrier-international-dish-26-ppm-lead-safe-by-all-standards/
I recommend the clear glass (with no painted decorations or logo markings) from the Dollar Stores, Walmart or Target – if you want to be sure to have Lead-free dishes. Target also has some white glass dishes that are relatively inexpensive and Lead-free, here’s an example:
