So this is safe?!
Yes
Tamara,
Hi would the entire set then be safe?
Oh thank goodness – this dish has been my partners favorite for years and when I saw it on your site I was so worried for them since I thought it was vintage from the pattern. What a relief that it’s new and heavy metal free! Now I just need to test all my painted plates haha
I have some dishes with this pattern. I don’t know how old they are. I have not recently purchased them. Are they unsafe?
I haven’t yet tested the vintage ones with this pattern – sorry. If they might be older than 2005 then they are likely leaded. Here’s an example with a similar color pallet:

I have a complete set of this pattern as pictured above. If it is the same pattern, should it be good? Or did they make this pattern years ago also. I am not sure when I purchased these.
thank you!
Have you, by chance, tested any of Corelle’s Blue Fleur? It’s a vintage design, but it has a scalloped shape. I’m wondering if they were possibly painted/manufactured differently. If you would like to test one, I have several of the mugs and saucers I’d be happy to send you.
