Diving into pottery

Love your work so far! Sorry, not to derail the thread but I'm just curious, do you have any concerns with lead in a cup like this? My wife and her sisters have been on this lead kick lately* so I end up getting a lot of info on the prevalence of lead in dishes, especially vintage stuff. Just curious if you use different glazes when you know it's going to be used for eating/drinking.

*-I'm not generally too concerned about lead exposure from dishes myself, I figure it's minimal but it's a thing in our house now. Leaded gas on the other hand... oh boy, that was some nasty stuff. Fun fact the guy who helped invent leaded gas went on to create CFCs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Midgley_Jr.).

Sorry for the threadjack, back to your pottery!
The glazes I used for these are food safe.
