In general I would consider this a safer choice. I was actually quite surprised that the gold flecks were not positive for high levels of lead (as many gold adorned pieces are). While I personally would not want to have these in my home (as a mother of Lead poisoned children I am fairly strict about that), if you served me coffee or tea in one of these mugs when I was visiting you in your home I would be comfortable drinking from it.
Because the clay base is higher Lead content (when tested with an XRF instrument) than the glazed areas, it is quite possible that the glazes are lead-free and the XRF is reading the level of lead in the base clay through the glaze (on the glazed areas that were tested.) This would be consistent with the other glazed ceramic pieces from this brand that I have tested.
Thank you for reading and for sharing my posts.
Please let me know if you have any questions at all.

Hello Tamara,first I would like to thank you for your work. It is definitely much appreciated. I am a mother of 2 beautiful kiddos. I’ve been researching safer dinnerware for us as a family. I will be purchasing the Corelle dinnerware set. I currently have bamboo dishes and cups for my kids. Do you think that is ok and safe for them to use? Do you have any recommendations for kid plates and cups? Also, I am in a search for mugs that are non toxic for my husband and myself and it has been impossible to find any. Do you have any recommendations for that aswell. Sorry for all of the questions, this is all new to me. Thank you so much in advance.
