Jono Pandolfi USA Ceramic Dish Green / Blue / Yellow glaze: 804 ppm Cadmium on the food surface.

When tested with an XRF Instrument the dish pictured here had the following readings (each test is a full minute test result, replicated many times to confirm levels):

#1.) Blue side of food surface glaze

  • Lead (Pb): 12 +/- 6 ppm
  • Cadmium (Cd): 29 +/- 4 ppm
  • Iron (Fe): 1,629 +/- 90 ppm
  • Copper (Cu): 389 +/- 26 ppm
  • Zinc (Zn): 15 +/- 8 ppm
  • Zirconium (Zr): 26,500 +/- 400 ppm
  • Barium (Ba): 167 +/- 26 ppm
  • Platinum (Pt): 219 +/- 24 ppm
  • Non-Detect for: Mercury, Bromine, Chromium

#2.) Yellow/Blue middle of food surface glaze

  • Cadmium (Cd): 172 +- 7 ppm
  • Iron (Fe): 1,755 +/- 88 ppm
  • Copper (Cu): 380 +/- 25 ppm
  • Zinc (Zn): 25 +/- 8 ppm
  • Zirconium (Zr): 28,100 +/- 400 ppm
  • Nb: 213 +/- 11 ppm
  • Barium (Ba): 215+/- 26 ppm
  • Platinum (Pt): 235 +/- 23 ppm
  • Non-Detect for: Lead, Mercury, Bromine, Chromium

#3.) Yellow side of food surface glaze

  • Cadmium (Cd): 804 +/- 18 ppm
  • Manganese (Mn): 548 +/- 104 ppm
  • Iron (Fe): 2,193 +/- 98 ppm
  • Copper (Cu): 458 +/- 27 ppm
  • Zinc (Zn): 27 +/- 8 ppm
  • Zirconium (Zr): 23,200 +/- 300 ppm
  • Barium (Ba): 217 +/- 25 ppm
  • Platinum (Pt): 241 +/- 24 ppm
  • Non-Detect for: Lead, Mercury, Bromine, Chromium
