Dear Barbary in Lyme, CT.

I picked up my ClayArt messages late. But I need to tell you that there is
no quick test that is sufficient. You really need to send a few of the mugs
off to a lab for formal testing if there is any question about lead release.
You can't know the financial problems that can result from a recall.

The most inexpenseive and reliable lab I know is

Professional Service Industries
850 Poplar Street
Pittsburgh PA 15220

412/922-4000 ask for Chemistry Department
