What a shame. Those are so beautiful.
Thank you for putting this information out there. I saw a post on facebook yesterday about your website. When I checked this list of dinnerware contaminated with lead, I realized that I eat on this stuff everyday. I am buying new stuff on Saturday. This could actually explain a lot of health issues.
Please do consider getting tested (blood, hair or urine – ask your doctor) to help you evaluate potential exposure. Here’s a couple of articles you may want to read before you get tested – but if you can get tested this week I would recommend that (given the half-life of lead in blood – link below):
