Thank you ALL for the helpful replies.
I can get the "gist" of the machine translation. It is FAR better than any of my attempts at reading the original 日本語 would be
.
All of them were kind of along the lines of what I was expecting...... but I was wondering if there was some special "trick" that I might not be aware of.
As to the lead issue.... THANKS..... that was one I was not aware of. Didn't realize it was used for alloying iron. As a long term professional potter and college professor of ceramics... (and instructor also of the "tech side" of things ceramic).... the lead testing thing is a snap for me. Will check it out for sure. Hoping the ppm's come back favorable..... I want to USE this one.
Thanks again. I'll post info on my results later.
best,
