Is there lead in the paint used for these dishes?

Lenox Butterfly Meadow does not contain lead paint on any of their pieces in this pattern according to my Lenox wholesale representative. -The Fine China Store

None that I'm aware of. The silver colored ones are zinc plated, the dull ones are without finish.

lead would be in the glaze, not the clay (no such thing as lead added to clay, and glazes are less likely to have any added to). As it is not legal for any cookware in the US to contain lead, unless it is made elsewhere and not quality checked, I would say, no, there isn't any lead. I have been a ceramic artist for ten years.

I did not make sure they didn't have lead. I was A assuming since they were a major brand, Anchor Hocking, they wouldn't have lead based paint. They really cute

I don't think it's assumed (any longer) that every piece of crockery made in China contains lead. I defy you to find a piece of chinaware that isn't made in China (of any kind), so if they were using lead, I'd think it would be a big deal.

I think the only glassware that contains lead would be some crystal. THese are very nice glasses, none have broken or chipped.

Gee, I don't really know. I gave it as a gift so I no longer have the packaging or the product. I don't believe using lead-based paint is legal any more at least here in the US but I don't recall where this product was made or shipped from. Have you tried to contact the seller? They would surely have that kind of information. Good luck. KLM

Some cookware uses lead as a coloring, to make it black (unbelievably to me). That wouldn't seem to be a factor here. But you still need to consider what metals they did use in China, and whether that can leech much into your food at whatever temperatures. Use the least heat necessary, with any cookware -- for both the food and the equipment. So I still want to know what metals they *do* use, and how it fares with leeching tests.

The blue swirl is in the glass itself. 50-ish dishwasher rides later, they are still as blue as ever. I don't know about the lead content - sorry!

That is correct. The bottom outside area is unglazed. By the way, the part that is glazed is glazed with 100% lead free glazes.

I'm assuming there's no lead. We've had these for over a year now with &gt;50 hot dishwasher cycles with no visual corrosion or pitting associated with lower grade stainless steels that may have lead. Only downside is sometimes residual detergent/soap gets caught in the straw, so I usually do a safety rinse under a faucet coming out of the dishwasher.

I don't recall seeing a warning. I believe it is just porcelain coated. It works great but let us know if there is a lead issue.

It is my understanding that all good crystal has some lead content ( it is not dangerous). However, unglazed pottery that is handpainted should not be used for food or beverages because of high levels of lead in the paints.

Its made out of Porcelen and I didn't see anything that really stands out as lead. I did contact the seller and this is what they told me "I dont know if it is lead free. There are no markings on the box and I have never seen japanese/any tableware with the a lead free certification. I would say use your best judgement."

As far as I know, lead is not in glass, usually it's in paint. When I buy ceramics from Mexico, they actually say "lead free" on the bottom. Glass is made from sand.

I wondered the same thing but lead isn't mentioned anywhere on the packaging or the item. I think you would have to contact the manufacturer to get an answer to this question.
