- Is bronze flatware safe to use?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Bronze dishware is generally safe to use for eating and cooking, though it requires careful use. Additionally, bronze should not be used to store food over long periods of time.
- What is a match safe?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021A match safe is a small portable box that is designed to hold matches and keep them dry. In the early 19th century, these boxes were very popular since matches were known to ignite unexpectedly when carried without a protective cover.
- Are silver tea sets safe to use?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Silver is a chemically non-reactive metal, so as long as the tea set is clean and has been properly cared for, it is safe to use. However, silver is an excellent conductor of heat, so be careful not to burn your lips or tongue whilst drinking tea. Shop a collection of authentic silver tea sets from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021The safest way to burn a kerosene lamp is outdoors, but if you do want to use one inside, opt for K-1 kerosene in an indoor-specific lamp. Do not burn red kerosene in an indoor lamp because the fumes from the red dye can be toxic to inhale.
- Are terracotta pots safe?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, terracotta pots are indeed safe for use; however, the pots should be thoroughly sterilized before first use because they are porous and can absorb harmful chemicals or moisture. You’ll find a variety of terracotta pots from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.

- Were there safes in the 1800s?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023Yes, there were safes in the 1800s. Historical records indicate that by 1820, some companies used safes to protect goods from fire.

- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021Both vaults and safes are essentially used to store items of value. A vault is most commonly built into the construction of a building, whereas safes can be completely freestanding and moveable. On 1stDibs find a variety of vaults and safes.
- Is leaded glass safe?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021Yes, leaded glass is safe because the food or drink isn’t in contact with the glass for long enough for the lead to seep in. If you’re feeling a bit uneasy about it, there are plenty of glass options that contain no lead.
- Is a lobster clasp safe?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Whether or not lobster clasps are safe depends on how well they are made and what condition they are in.

- Is Vietri oven-safe?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024Whether Vietri is oven-safe depends on the piece. Generally, most Vietri stoneware is oven-safe as well as dishwasher-, freezer- and microwave-safe. However, select stoneware items may not be oven-safe due to their decorative accents, and Vietri dinnerware, drinkware and serveware made of other materials may not be suitable for placing in the oven. Consult the markings on your Vietri pieces or the care instructions provided by Vietri for advice on how to properly use them. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Vietri stoneware.
- Are Gien plates dishwasher safe?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, Gien plates are dishwasher safe.

- Are copper tea kettles safe?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021Yes, copper tea kettles are safe to use as they are manufactured with a thin lining of stainless steel, nickel or tin in order to ensure safety while heating. Copper tea kettles are considered highly efficient and retain heat for long. You can check out and choose from many different designs and styles of copper tea kettles, such as Art Deco, Victorian, 20th century, mid-20th century and vintage period designs on 1stDibs.
- Are wrought iron doors safe?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021Yes, homes are significantly safer with wrought iron doors. Because of their durability, they are a good option to protect your home. In unsavory weather conditions, wrought iron entries can protect your home from the damage caused by debris and objects, and they are strong enough to deter burglars. Find a variety of wrought iron doors on 1stDibs.
- Are wooden high chairs safe?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021While antique wooden high chairs look nice and are a fun idea, they are not often the safest choice of seating for babies. Old fashioned wooden high chairs that feature removable wooden trays or arms don't typically meet modern safety standards. Parents must be cautious if they wish to use these chairs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021Yes, wooden mugs are safe to drink from. Wooden mugs feature a clear resin lining inside out that protects the wood from interacting with whatever you are drinking. This coating makes the mugs safe and helps in maintaining hygiene. Also, wooden mugs make for a visually appealing addition to your drinkware.
- Are copper coffee pots safe?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Opinions on whether or not copper coffee pots are safe vary. Some experts raise concerns over the use of copper vessels and recommend that you only use ones lined with another metal like tin or aluminum. As a result, people may choose to use antique pots only as decorative objects. Shop a range of antique copper coffee pots on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023In the 1800s, safes were usually made of metal like tin plating or sheet iron. Fireproofing the safes proved difficult, and during the 1820s, specific mixtures of materials such as mica, potash lye and alum were used to line a safe’s interior in order to prevent its contents from succumbing to fire damage. Shop a collection of safes on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021While a little copper exposure can be healthy, too much may be bad for your health and more acidic liquids can leech more copper out of the cup but this is still highly unlikely. You can also find unlined copper cups to be extra safe.
