I love to look at foreign pots and dishes not made in America. Because you can find some really cool stuff out there. In fact, there are all sorts of things you can buy that are amazingly original that you could place on your tabletop over the holidays and which will both astound and reverence your dinner guests.
The problem is this: many of the things that you find at local markets in exotic locations, contain lead. And lead toxicity is a definite problem that can lead to irreversible health issues. Even in minuscule amounts. And usually over a period of time with exposure.
But there's a product out there which I once saw on a cooking show. And that thing is quite brilliant and is called a lead detector. And you can take it with you when you shop--if you're shopping overseas or somewhere with lax regulations. It's called a lead detection kit. And it works and it's cheap and you can buy pottery and cookware without any great concern for adverse effects down the road.
