Hi Tamara,
Thank you for such an informative site.
I have all of my dishes that I bought from Fortunoff’s in New York about 10 years ago, and they are all stamped with the same Royal Stafford stamp as above.
Could I assume that they also contain lead, even though they are not the same pattern? (I did take a picture of the plate, and can send to you if it would help.)
And also, some of the dishes have cracks / crazing – would that all in itself make them unsuitable to use?
I also have all my coffee and tea mugs made by Palm Restaurant (made in China). Do you know anything about that brand? Does the fact that it was made in China make it likely that it has lead?
I came across your site, by the way, because suddenly two days in a row this week I woke up to the room spinning pretty severely. Something that has never happened to me before. And when I researched it I found that one of the reasons could be lead poisoning – so I’m just looking into all the different factors.
Thanks again.
