When tested with an XRF instrument this 2003 Chantal mug (that was mine, personally & I bought new at a local kitchen store here in Portland) had the following readings:
- Lead (Pb): 679 ppm
- Arsenic (As): Non-Detect
- Mercury (Hg): Non-Detect
For context: The amount of lead considered toxic in an item intended for children (in the paint or coating) is anything 90 ppm lead (Pb) or higher in the glaze, paint or coating.
As always, please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for reading and for sharing!

Thank you for all you have uncovered! I’ve been scouring your website for many days and purging my house. I have small solid white bowls made by Chantal. Have you ever tested anything pure white made by them? Of course, their website says there is no lead or toxic materials in their products but I don’t trust them. I don’t know how old these are.
