Question from Alexandra
Hi Debra, Is stoneware a non toxic product? I am considering getting some stoneware items. Namely the butter dish and the teapot from Le Creuset. Also, some children’s play dishes at IKEA. Do you have any advice on this? Thanks!
Debra’s Answer
Some stoneware is safe. There are two variables.
One is contaminants in the clay itself. The other is lead or other metals in the glaze.
It’s always a good idea to check on the purity of lead and glaze before purchasing.
Call the manufacturer.
