How it helps

Use it for a focused task

A step-by-step inspection worksheet for secondhand ceramics with a live safety score, brand presets, a 1970s mug scenario walkthrough, and a printable inspection card. Set up your mug under bright light, work through each inspection step, mark what you see, read the live explanation, then save the result to your collection log or print the card.

Vintage mugs can hide cracks that trap bacteria or use glazes that may release lead. This checklist helps you spot warning signs before you drink.

This guide helps you spot warning signs at home. It does not replace lab testing.
