Recently, we have received many inquiries about the pricing of ceramic tableware with gold plating. Gold-plated ceramic tableware is becoming increasingly popular in 

the market. The golden ceramic tableware in supermarkets is very eye-catching. However, are they safe to use? In today's pursuit of visual effects, people are also paying 

more attention to health and the health and safety of tableware materials. Are these tableware with metallic luster artworks that enhance the dining atmosphere or potential 

health threats? Today, let's discuss this together.

1.Gold plating is a post-processing method.


Its essence is to deposit gold ions on the surface of a metal substrate through electrolysis. When producing ceramic tableware, reputable manufacturers will use food-grade 

gold plating solution that complies with the GB 4806.9-2016 standard. The gold layer purity of this solution can reach 24K (99.9%). However, when purchasing gold-plated 

ceramic tableware wholesale from China in the market, one must be cautious of buying inferior products. The problem often lies in the choice of substrate. Some manufacturers, 

in order to cut costs, directly gold-plate on zinc alloy or inferior stainless steel. When these base metals come into contact with acidic foods, harmful substances may penetrate 

the pores of the gold plating layer, posing a threat to human health.


2.The way to check if the golden decoration is safe.

When we buy gold-plated ceramic tableware and bring it home, we can use simple methods to check if it meets safety standards. One way is to immerse the tableware in white 

vinegar for 30 minutes. If the vinegar becomes cloudy or the tableware shows signs of discoloration, it indicates that the ceramic tableware manufactured in Chinese factory you 

purchased may have safety issues. A more reliable method is to check if the product has a "food-grade" label and comes with a third-party inspection report. Generally, reputable 

manufacturers will have relevant labels or inspection reports. After all, true luxury should not come at the cost of health. Everyone is the first person responsible for their own health.
