Annie says
I just recently read about lead in vintage ceramics and started researching my brick oven stoneware set that I have been using for 2 years. I am very concerned now but I came across this test of yours. My brick oven stoneware has a different pattern of various colored flowers around the ceramics as well as in the middle of each plate/bowl. The back has the logo but instead of Tuan Guan China, it says made in China. How do I know if the different colors have lead or if your test concludes that this brand does not contain lead? I have a baby and we have been using this as a family for 2 years. Please advise. Thank you! Annie
