Studio dinnerware is a term which means pieces are created in the artist's studio. At Edgecomb we primarily use traditional oriental pottery techniques in making, glazing, and firing our porcelain dinnerware.
Porcelain is an extremely durable highly fired pure white clay.
Elsewhere in the world porcelain clays are created by mixing various ingredients. The primary ingredient, Kaolin got its name from a region, Kaoling, in China. Lead is primarily used in low fire ceramics. It is of no practical use at porcelain temperatures. Edgecomb Potters' dinnerware has been FDA tested and is not only lead free, but tests negative for any release of any toxic material.
