It states it is dishwasher safe. do you know anything about the British standards for lead in china in the 1970's? is it safe to use?? any input you may have will be helpful. thanks |

ANSWER: 13 Mar 2006 Dear Deborah In response to your query about the British standards for lead in china, there is this British standard which might be of aid: British Standard Specification No.BS4860 : Part1: 1972 for "Permissible Limits of Metal Release from Glazed Ceramic Ware". You can visit the following website, which talks about lead in ceramics and might help you to find out how safe it is to use ceramic ware/china. www.environment.gov.au/atmosphere/airquality/publications/ceramics.html Hope this information helps to answer you query.
