thrifted ceramic sip mug - lead?

Question/Advice

I thrifted this adorable ceramic sip mug yesterday, it has no branding or etching on the bottom but I've seen a lot of similar mugs on etsy and am guessing it's handmade and relatively newer vs vintage, with that said, how likely is something like this to contain lead? I know there are home test kits but have heard they can be inaccurate, I've read that lead glazes are more common in brightly colored ceramics, so hoping that means this one could be less likely to, apologies if this is the wrong subreddit for this or if this is a completely silly question since I know no one can tell me for sure, any input would be appreciated!
