For the home test, out of curiosity, do any ceramic plates ever pass this?

I will have to try to fork and knife test this as well. Thank you for pointing this out. I really hope this glaze is safe.

Thank you so much min! Well my new apartment won't have a dishwasher, so I will be handwashing all my dishes. But I can definitely try the white vinegar test for a couple days. I will see if that works. Do any dishes ever pass that test? xD

Hello, I am doing some research on these ceramic plates that I bought. Customer service informed me that the plates were made of: "The stoneware is made of clay, feldspar, quartz and the coating is composed of feldspar, calcspar, kaoline, barium carbonate and pigment." I am concerned, would this leach the barium carbonate in to food while eating? Is this safe and nontoxic? Would the barium oxide become part of the glaze and not a threat, or such a small amount it would not matter? Thank you so much for your wisdom! I am having a very hard time finding out this type of information.
