Ciroa porcelain dish with fork, spoon & knife design: 8,397 ppm Lead & 1,125 ppm Arsenic on the food surface. (Nope!)

Saturday – October 10, 2020 
Writing to you today from a cabin on a lake in a forest in MAINE!

In an effort to get caught up on a few things I am behind on – I am going to post a handful of posts today with just the XRF readings for that item. IF you have additional questions about the item, please let me know. If you want to know more about the implications of any test results reported OR about the testing methodology I employ – please look through the posts in the menu (which is at the top of each page of the website and has posts that cover all aspects of what I do!) Thanks for being here!
