How to Care for Fine Bone China & Vintage Treasures

Your fine bone china and vintage treasures are delicate, timeless pieces that deserve gentle care to keep their beauty intact for years to come. Here’s how to protect them:

1. Hand Wash Only
   Always wash fine bone china by hand. Dishwashers can cause damage to patterns, gilding, and the fine glaze.

2. Use Warm Soapy Water
   Fill a basin with warm (not hot) water and a mild dish soap. Avoid harsh detergents and abrasive cleaners.

3. Handle With Care
   Wash one piece at a time, using a soft sponge or cloth. Never stack delicate pieces in the sink.

4. Rinse & Dry Immediately
   Rinse gently with warm water and dry with a soft, lint-free towel. Avoid air drying, which can leave water spots.

5. Store Thoughtfully
   Stack plates with soft cloth or felt between each piece. Display cups and other fragile items securely to prevent chips.

6. Avoid Extreme Temperatures
   Do not expose china to sudden temperature changes, which can cause cracking.

By following these steps, your fine bone china and vintage items will remain beautiful and cherished for generations.
