When did glazed zisha become en vogue. It's been a while but mine are
unglazed. Even my generic red terracotta pots are unglazed. If
someone is selling me glazed zisha I'd suspect the origin. I know
Chinese pottery paint has lead but that is normally glazed over making
safe for use. You can have a glaze with Chinese paint on top and that
is an absolute no-no for use only decorative.
