Crown Royal Bone China, Made in England.
Tested with an XRF instrument. Positive for lead at 66,800 +/- 1,700 ppm lead. For context: the amount of lead that is considered toxic in an item intended for children is anything 90 ppm or higher. Vintage dishware is not regulated for total lead content as detectible with an XRF instrument. This dish was also “Non-Detect” (negative) for mercury (Hg), arsenic (As), and cadmium (Cd.)
I have Royal Crown Chelsea China from England. I have no idea how old it is. It’s from my grandmother’s friend. There’s a number on the back that looks hand-painted on: 7302. No idea if that means anything. It is white China with a gold design on the flange.
Please let me know if you have any idea if there’s lead in it. Also, how and where do I get a reputable test kit?
Thank you. Debbie
I have 1982 bone china made by Royal Albert pattern is Hayworth.
Not likely safe for food use, based on the testing we have done. Here’s The “Royal Albert” category on the website – there are two examples with test results: https://tamararubin.com/category/royal-albert/
