Ilene,

This glaze will have marginal stability at best. Shaner's Oribe, which
is this glaze with a little more copper, is VERY unstable per testing
done by Tom Wirt and Betsy Price. I would not personally use this on
dinnerware without very careful testing.

Regards, John

I have no idea whether the glaze is food safe....
I guess you will need to test it.
