Please note: In general, dishes like this cannot be tested with a home test kit like a LeadCheck swab. To better understand why that is the case, please click this link.
People often express concern for products from the Dollar (type) stores [Dollar Tree, Dollar Store, Dollar General, 99cent Store] and usually I explain to them that BECAUSE these types of stores were cited for several significant Lead-violations years ago, in my experience the products they sell have become much safer in recent years (if only from a Lead perspective.)

Hi Tamara,
Today I just purchased a Royal Norfolk WHITE bowl… I see that you have mixed results on these types of bowls. Have you tested the white ones? I will return it if you recommend I do so. I’m actually looking for a small bowl for my bird’s seed or fruits/vegetables and this is the perfect size. It actually looks like Corningware in a way but when I peeled the tag off it said Royal Norfolk.
I just bought an orange Royal Norfolk bowl from Dollar Tree. I went to look up the company name to see about purchasing other pieces as I liked the shape of the bowl. I discovered you had tested and that there is lead in the glaze. What I would like to know is if the levels are safe or should I toss out the bowl?
Here is what your tests revealed:
Lead (Pb): 103 +/- 16 ppm
Cadmium (Cd): 210 +/- 13 ppm
Your site didn’t actually state the levels were acceptable, so I would like a recommendation, please.
Anything over 90 ppm is toxic for kids. Toss it if you haven’t already!
Thank you! Just tossed mine in the trash before serving thanksgiving tomorrow!
Oh my god! I have been using this bowl from past 2 years. I am throwing away mine
