  1. I have a full set of royal Worchester china in the Evesham pattern. The casseroles are plain white on the inside but all the plates have over glaze colors depicting various fruits. Are they on safe? You tested another royal Worchester patter and it was pretty bad. Thanks

  4. Hello,

    I have a set of Z2819 Delecta Reproduction of Bone China Early Worcester made in England. Copy of Circa 1800, hand painted. It has a plum and pear with flowers in the center and cherries, plums, and a flower sprig on the outer rim. Is this safe to eat off of? I have only adults in my family and we use this china once a year. It was my mother’s so it has to be 50-75 years old I think.

    Thank you,
