Give them a rinse and yes. If you start seeing the walls melting or Pazuzu appears, then…
Yes. They are usually for decoration but can also be perfectly fine as actual food plates.
why wouldn’t they ?
I would not take the risk. Those ceramic dishes were unregulated back in the days. Could pose serious lead poisoning risks. It can leach from heat, cracks or acidic food.
You need to test for lead before eating from it. The stamp says 1964; lead paint was legal for use in Belgium until the early 80s. Usually the amounts are small enough that you won’t be harmed from occasional use, but I wouldn’t personally take the risk.
They are a limited series apparently. Did you try to sell them instead?
I wouldn’t eat off a plate claiming that Wiltz is the Capital of the Ardenne, lead or no lead!
