โ Handwashing vs Dishwasher Use
For vintage Wedgwood or pieces with gold trim and delicate patterns, handwashing is the safest choice.
- Use warm water and mild dish soap
- Avoid abrasive sponges
- Gently pat dry instead of air-drying
This method prevents fading, scratches, or chipping, ensuring your cherished pieces last for decades.
๐ Storage Tips to Prevent Damage
Proper storage is just as important as cleaning:
- Use felt dividers or soft cloth between stacked plates
- Store cups and saucers separately
- Avoid overcrowding cabinets to prevent accidental chips
With these tips, your Wedgwood fine china collection stays pristine and ready to impress anytime.
