When tested with an XRF instrument, this newly-purchased (2019) Miniso small glass water bottle had the following readings:
Plain (undecorated) section of the glass of the bottle:
- Barium (Ba): 456 +/ 228 ppm
- Copper (Cu): 50 +/- 18 ppm
- Iron (Fe): 125 +/- 38 ppm
- Bismuth (Bi): 12 +/- 7 ppm

Section of bottle with blue writing:
- Barium (Ba): 427 +/ 171 ppm
- Copper (Cu): 66 +/- 19 ppm
- Iron (Fe): 112 +/- 40 ppm
- Titanium (Ti): 13,700 +/- 600 ppm

Hard blue plastic of cap:
- Barium (Ba): 212 +/ 82 ppm
- Zinc (Zn): 69 +/- 7 ppm
- Copper (Cu): 42 +/- 11 ppm
- Iron (Fe): 35 +/- 15 ppm
- Titanium (Ti): 2,860 +/- 254 ppm
Blue silicone strap of cap:
- Barium (Ba): 414 +/ 211 ppm
- Zinc (Zn): 313 +/- 20 ppm
- Iron (Fe): 59 +/- 31 ppm
XRF testing was done with a Niton XL3T, in “Consumer Goods” mode – for a minimum of 60 seconds per test, unless otherwise noted. Results are science-based and replicable. Metals not listed were not detected by the XRF in consumer goods mode.
I really love this store (Miniso!) — it’s like an Ikea just for small things, and it looks like MOST of the things in the store seem likely to be Lead-free (or at least Lead-safe, below 90 ppm]! I will be posting more from this store soon.

As always thank you for reading and for sharing my posts.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Hello,
I’m curious given your recent post about Titanium Dioxide if this is the same Titanium found in this glass jar above? Thanks
Yes – but this is a bottle for use by an adult – not a baby bottle and not an item where the painted part is intended to go in a child’s mouth.
