looking for 2 bread and butter plates in linea pattern
These are outside a range that I would consider safe – even though the Lead level is relatively low – I would not consider buying more of ths pattern
Golly. This is disappointing. Was just thinking about how much I enjoy my Pfaltzgraff dishes. Nice and sturdy. Good feel and lovely designs. I have both the Linea and the Winterberry patterns. So now are you saying the Linea is unsafe to use? I have had them for over 15 years probably and esp love the mugs and the modern style. Please say it isn’t so.
It’s relatively low Lead (compared to others), but given there is no safe level of Lead exposure, for me it’s not worth the risk.

Hello 🙂
We have the “Lido Beach” set from this brand . Just white with raised shells design. Did you by any chance test it?
So, this brand isn’t normally a good choice?
Thank you.
