Sango Vega Aqua Square Ceramic Dish: 1,219 ppm Lead (90 is considered unsafe in items for use by kids).

I test everything.  STFU.  Call me if you have questions. 😠

Oops – this broke in shipping! If you are sending me something to test, please make sure it is very well packed. Here’s a link about how to participate in the collaborative testing I do with my readers.

When tested with an XRF instrument the green and white Sango brand dish pictured here had the following readings:

Test focused on glazed food surface of dish:

• Lead (Pb): 973 +/- 48 ppm
• Barium (Ba): 1,994 +/- 104 ppm
• Tin (Sn): 63 +/- 19 ppm
• Zinc (Zn): 38,400 +/- 1,000 ppm
• Copper (Cu): 156 +/- 45 ppm
• Iron (Fe): 1,537 +/- 180 ppm
• Vanadium (V): 1,948 +/- 133 ppm
• Titanium (Ti): 3,756 +/- 228 ppm
• Zirconium (Zr): 9,879 +/- 284 ppm

Test focused on white glazed bottom of dish:

• Lead (Pb): 1,219 +/- 60 ppm
• Barium (Ba): 653 +/- 70 ppm
• Zinc (Zn): 36,800 +/- 1,000 ppm
• Copper (Cu): 107 +/- 45 ppm
• Iron (Fe): 1,285 +/- 182 ppm
• Vanadium (V): 900 +/- 86 ppm
• Titanium (Ti): 1,956 +/- 152 ppm
• Zirconium (Zr): 3,427 +/- 113 ppm

Metals not detected by the XRF in “Consumer Goods” mode are not listed. Tests were done for a minimum of 60 seconds each to confirm the reading. Results are science-based and replicable and conducted with a Niton XL3T XRF in “Consumer Goods” mode.

As always, please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for reading and for sharing my posts.
