Is Pillivuyt brand china safe? Is Pillivuyt china Lead-free?
XRF readings: Lead: 100 ppm · Cadmium: 0 ppm · Arsenic: 0 ppm Verdict: Low-elevated: below most adult thresholds This Is Pillivuyt brand china safe? Is Pillivuyt china Lead-free? reads 100 ppm lead, above the 90 ppm CPSC limit for children's products. Whether the lead can actually reach food depends on whether it's locked into fired glaze (typically not bioavailable) or sitting on surface paint (typically is). What this XRF reading actually means → XRF measures lead presence on the surface. It does not measure whether that lead can reach... Read more...

Handmade ceramic bowl with red, brown, and gray glaze
XRF readings: Lead: not measured · Cadmium: 4 ppm · Arsenic: not measured Verdict: Lead-free per XRF No lead detected by XRF. FluoroSpec test will confirm no surface lead reactivity. There is no safe amount of lead. This number is a starting point, not a verdict on your safety. What matters is whether the lead can actually reach a person. Think of tacks: a box of them in a drawer is fine, the same tacks loose on the kitchen floor are not. Lead locked in a stable fired glaze is... Read more...
Vintage Satin-Sheen Pyramid Brand Decorative Glass Christmas Ornaments (bell-shaped with iridescent glass): 16 ppm lead by XRF
XRF readings: Lead: 16 ppm · Cadmium: 25 ppm · Arsenic: not measured Verdict: Low, probably not a concern 16 ppm lead detected, below the 90 ppm children's safety threshold. At this level, most toxicologists would not flag this as actionable for typical adult use. FluoroSpec test: if it doesn't glow, the lead is not in reactive surface form. There is no safe amount of lead. This number is a starting point, not a verdict on your safety. What matters is whether the lead can actually reach a person. Think... Read more...

Vintage violin tuner/ pitch pipe, Made in Czechoslovakia: 4,201 ppm lead by XRF
XRF readings: Lead: 4,201 ppm · Cadmium: 1,316 ppm · Arsenic: 8 ppm Verdict: High, FluoroSpec test required + High cadmium 4,201 ppm lead detected by XRF. This item is at or above the boundary where ceramic lead can begin to behave differently under acidic conditions. FluoroSpec is the actionable test: glow = retire it, no glow = lower risk. NOTE: 1,316 ppm cadmium also detected, a separate and serious concern for colored glazes. There is no safe amount of lead. This number is a starting point, not a verdict... Read more...

Val Dol Sol (Made in Portugal) orange glazed ceramic mug: 19,000 ppm lead by XRF
XRF readings: Lead: 19,000 ppm · Cadmium: 200 ppm · Arsenic: not measured Verdict: Very high, avoid food contact 19,000 ppm lead detected. While lead in fired ceramic glaze is generally tightly bound, at this concentration leaching into acidic foods (tomato, citrus, vinegar) becomes a realistic concern even in well-fired ware. FluoroSpec will confirm whether lead is surface-reactive. Also: 200 ppm cadmium present. There is no safe amount of lead. This number is a starting point, not a verdict on your safety. What matters is whether the lead can actually... Read more...
