XRF readings:
Lead: 11200 ppm · Cadmium: 0 ppm · Arsenic: 500 ppm
Verdict: Very high: avoid food contact
This This Thomas “Sunny Day” saucer (Germany, c. 2004) contains 11,200 ppm Lead + 1,209 Arsenic. Which dishes do you use daily? tested at 11200 ppm lead, heavily contaminated. If any of the lead is on the painted surface, decoration, or worn area, expect bioavailable exposure with food contact, mouthing, or abrasion. Arsenic reads 500 ppm, worth noting on top of the lead question.
What this XRF reading actually means →
XRF measures lead presence on the surface. It does not measure whether that lead can reach a person. That distinction matters for how you should react to this number. Read the full primer.
