I will update this post shortly, but just wanted to start by making sure the XRF readings were up online. Readings are science-based, replicable, and accurate. Each component of each piece reported on (here on this blog) has been tested multiple times to confirm the readings, and one full set of readings (per component) is reported here on the blog.
Thank you for reading and for sharing my posts!
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Can you tell me anything else about this piece? I found one of these at a flea market and bout it. When it was made, company, where I could get the lid, (mine didn’t have one)?
I don’t know anything about it… sorry! It was from a client in Chicago.
