Lead poisoning?

I found this cool tea set in the back of my cupboard today. But the first thing that came to mind was, "what if the ceramic is laced with lead?"

The thing looks fairly old, but it has an Asian design, so I'm not sure they were privy to using lead in their paint. But is there any way to test if there's lead?

I ask this because I'm start to feel a sharp pain in my gut; however, this could just be attributed to the chili I ate earlier.

Thanks in advance.

If you think you have lead poisioning go to the er, it could be fatal.

In ceramics, any lead was in the glaze, not in the paint. Trot your tea set down to an antique dealer and ask them what they know about the thing. In general, lead glaze never shows up in any but ornamental ceramics, and it's unlikely to be in yours.

I don't think you're showing the symptoms of lead poisoning, from the sound of it.
