@unascribed not lick it
@noiob my understanding is that normal contraction/expansion of metal due to heat and abrasion from using the table can liberate lead dust
@unascribed huh
my parents have lead-glazed plates (not a lot of them) and we were just disallowed from putting acidic foods on them lmao
@noiob it is well known that metal flatware does not scratch surfaces at all. steel is as soft as wool
@unascribed absolutely yeah
@unascribed honestly a little lead builds character
@unascribed isn't the lead like, bound in the paint? my understanding is you'd need to seriously disturb it for it to come out in a dangerous form
