Is this bowl safe for soup? — Potters · The Makers

At a flea market in the invented town of Claybrook, Nes finds a very old, brightly glazed bowl. Potter Rita helps her decide how to use it.

Your task

Make the best choices.

Some old glazes contain lead. Acidic food, like tomato or orange juice, can make lead come out of the glaze into the food, and lead is harmful. Modern food-safe glazes are tested.
Invented guild stories to learn from. Never try fire, hot metal, glass, blades or power tools on your own: crafts like these are learned with a trained adult.
Every craft came from many people in many places. Nothing about you is collected.

Score

Craft knowledge — You understood how this craft works.
Making it well — You put the steps in a sensible order and used the right tools.
Care for people & planet — You kept people safe and used materials wisely.

In real life

The EU has limits on how much lead and cadmium ceramics that touch food may release (Directive 84/500/EEC, updated over the years). Home lead-test kits exist, but a lab test is more reliable.
