Two years later, in 1895, the name Syracuse China appeared in the backstamp of this revolutionary china. The company continued to produce the earthenware body until 1897, when it was discontinued. From then on, all ware was and still is made of vitreous Syracuse China.

Does Syracuse China have lead?

All Syracuse china seems to be high Lead. Over the years I have tested a LOT of Syracuse brand china. All of the vintage Syracuse pieces I have tested have been very high lead. This particular piece tested positive with an XRF as containing more than 10% lead in the glaze!
