          When I found out they had lead last year, I went to work with the cup to confirm. This is a handheld XRF, which depends on the specific spacing of electrons in atoms to determine the identity. Not much to it other than point and shoot! (with shielding)

          This is a Thermo handheld XRF. I wasn’t working at this place when it was purchased, but it was somewhere between $40k-$60k.

      I’m pretty sure that’s Corelle. Do they still do this today? Because all of our dishware are fucking Corelle

      Edit: Ok so they stopped putting lead since 2005 so we should be safe. But how come they only stopped in 2005

        Probably ran out of their stock of lead around that time

          Who needs government regulations, amirite?

          It’s not like widespread lead exposure has ever had any negative effect… Oh wait.

          My aunt always drops off the fucking best, most fattening, rich meals ( “church food” ) and it is always on a plate or bowl from that company that her family has had since at least the 80’s. I will not stop eating from those dishes, I don’t even care , it’s worth it.

            Properly fired it’s pretty tough to get any meaningful amount of lead out of a glaze on ceramics.

            I’d bet they did it because of pressure from customers.

        I have corelle (or corealle?) but mine are all white and don’t have the decorative print. Does that mean mine are safe from lead?

          I believe it was just the one (or maybe two?) specific design… I have one from circa 2004-2005 with a different pattern, and I remember looking into this a few years back and finding out that mine was probably ok.

      What part of the plate has lead? The plate itself or the paint?

        You’re fine. The lead is bound in inert glass and only in the design. You would have had to chip off the design and eat it to have any problems.

        I think we still have one of those plates in the cabinet. It’s not in normal rotation, tho.
