5. When choosing those tableware decorated with gold and silver edges, it is best to wipe it with your hands first.
6. Ceramic tableware with too bright colors is not necessarily good. Some manufacturers add some heavy metal additives to the colorful glaze in order to make the ceramics look more bright.
7. When choosing the set of ceramic tableware, you should also carefully check whether the glaze, picture, gloss and style of each piece are uniform. Beware that there are shoddy and inferior products in the set of tableware. .
8. To buy ceramic tableware, it is better to choose a formal market. Don’t buy inferior products that do not have a formal manufacturer because of greed.
9. After you buy the tableware, do not use ceramic tableware to store acidic food and beverages such as juice, coffee or wine for a long time. Because ceramics store acidic foods or beverages for too long, especially in high-temperature seasons, the easier it is to dissolve lead, and too much lead can cause toxic side effects.
