About the Markings & History:
The bottom of this vessel features a distinct red rectangular stamp reading, \"NOT FOR FOOD USE / MAY POISON FOOD.\" Following a series of strict Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations introduced in 1971 and updated in 1992, international pottery factories were required to fire permanent warning decals into the bases of items whose glazes contained high concentrations of lead or uranium. Lead glazes were heavily utilized by Chinese ceramic artisans to achieve incredibly rich, glass-like luster and hyper-vibrant enamel pigments. Because these chemical combinations can safely leach if exposed to acidic foods or drinks, this permanent safety mark guarantees its identity as an authentic vintage ornamental export piece manufactured exclusively for high-end home decoration.
