| Caring For Depression Era Glassware
|
|
To prevent cracking, I never place it in a dishwasher, as the water is generally too hot. If you have hard water, a dishwasher will permanently etch your glassware, if washed in it.

"Plastic" objects are part of our history. These items represent a significant example of Americana. The Smithsonian, the Museum of Modern Art and the Philadelphia Museum all include "plastics" in their collections.
You do not have to go to a museum to enjoy seeing and collecting "plastic" items. The primary goal of the new movement, in the 1930's and 40's, was to provide less expensive, decorative, and useful items in the home, using machines to create and service the large population.

| To Clean Or Not To Clean Porcelain and How To Do It
|
|
By Stewart Hopewell

Yes, by all means, clean your porcelain, and I'll tell you how to do it in just a minute. But first, believe me, you can only make it look better if you give your porcelain a careful and loving cleaning. So, go ahead and get rid of the dust, dirt, nicotine, house paint, and I don't know what all, by cleaning your porcelain. As a seller/dealer of quality porcelain, I can certainly tell you that after I have cleaned my acquired porcelain, I have been able to increase my investment because the piece looked so much better. Bottom line, I think, is to always and periodically clean your pieces of porcelain.
