I’m so sorry I’m just not understanding this.
I have Borghese by Mikasa, I could not find out anything about this China. Mine is white with silver trim, dishes, cups etc.
Do you know if this has lead? If so I will have to dispose of it, where.
Thank you for your time, this is a wonderful website.

Hi!
I just inherited a set of the Mikasa Bone China/White Silk from my mom. She loved it. It was from her second marriage. Can you share where you sent that china for testing? I would like to learn more before deciding what to do going forward.
Thank you!

Gretchen– Tamara does all the testing by herself, using the standard methods/instruments. You can read more here: https://tamararubin.com/2016/12/ask-tamara-what-do-you-use-to-test-for-lead/
