How do I care for antique ceramic tableware?

Wash antique ceramic pieces gently by hand using lukewarm water and mild detergent rather than placing them in a dishwasher. Avoid sudden temperature changes to protect the old glaze and body from thermal shock. Store pieces securely with padded dividers between stacked plates to prevent rim chips. Display them out of direct sunlight to keep enamel colours stable over time.

Can I use these plates for everyday dining?

Many sturdy 19th-century earthenware and ironstone pieces remain robust enough for occasional modern use, though older soft-paste porcelain demands greater care. Consider reserving delicate 18th-century porcelain for display or very light service. Inspect pieces for old hairline cracks before serving food, as historic glazes may absorb liquids through compromised surfaces. Gentle handling ensures these historic items survive for future generations.

What is the difference between a tureen and a sauceboat?

A tureen is a large, deep covered vessel designed to hold communal portions of soup, vegetables or sauces at the centre of the table. They frequently incorporate matching ladles and fixed or separate under-plates. A sauceboat is a smaller, open vessel with a pouring spout and handle meant for individual sauces or gravies. Sauceboats often appear in pairs alongside matching meat platters.
