Porcelain from the Ukraine, has a wonderful ring to it, don't you think. So I decided to find out more about Korosten the place where it is made. Here is one small snippet I found from the web.
At the finish of XX century this idyll was troubled. Because of its proximity to the Chernobyl the city is contaminated with radiation after the nuclear disaster occurred April 26th 1986. Korosten is qualified as a “zone of voluntary evacuation”. Besides, the economy of the city was affected by the crisis after the disintegration of the USSR. The habitants are very preoccupied for their health and future of their children. Many of them have to abandoned this marvelous land.
So I wonder what would happen if you passed a geiger counter over the plates that we have bought. Safe as milk no doubt.
