# I remember being told in ceramics class as a kid
that if I wanted to serve food in one of my bowls I couldn't use a red glaze.

The red glaze had arsenic in it. Apparently there are no red-glazed bowls in the world, or in the history of mankind. Maybe painted, but not glazed.

I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU (THE READER) ACHIEVE GOOD HEALTH.

no red ceramic glaze at any time of the day on a bowl; shepherds delight,
some red ceramic glaze at any time of the day on a bowl; shepherds arsenic poisoning
