Is there a relatively inexpensive way to test the washer to determine if the glaze contains lead?

I found a pitcher really nice dishes. The exterior is the pitcher normal staining with 2 thin circular blue lines as decoration. I want to use the jug with water drinking iced tea, etc. There is no potters mark on the bottom but I'm fairly certain that the product is manufactured in the United States two enamels are applied in a single layer.

I guess you want to control non-destructive, so you always have the pitcher after getting tested. There are 2 instruments that I'm aware of what will answer the question: X-Ray Fluorescence and Energy Dispersive Analysis. The XRF is the best method because it very adaptable fixturing some units are still arranged as a pocket pistol, if you put the muzzle to the part to analyze, pull the trigger, and the screen shows the elemental analysis in seconds! It's kind of my company is planning on achieving this year to enable us to quickly analyze metals we buy. Other instruments are less flexible fixturing, so they may take some finagling. The EDS is usually part of a scanning electron microscope, and the catch there is that these devices generally have small rooms, so you may not be able to answer your pottery in the SEM. But if you can be spinning shaving bottom, or fit the cover in the SEM, then you'll quickly get accurate information. Let us now "cheap". Each of these devices have almost 0 the marginal costs of testing and by that I mean there are no supplies, no chemicals, nothing like you have to pay. The trick is find someone with one of these instruments will be ready to verify your dishes. So do you have friends who work in industry or a hospital laboratory or a university with a metal / chemistry / dental service? Ask around, you never know who may know someone who has access to one! Good luck!
