Beautiful Vintage
Is vintage dinnerware with "age crazing" still safe to eat/drink from?
I'm getting a beautiful vintage dinner service, and some of the pieces have some "age crazing," which I believe means a small crackling effect. Correct me if I am wrong. Anyway, I like the look of it. Does anyone know if pieces like that are unsafe to eat/drink from? In my opinion it's fine, but someone told me no, so I thought I'd see if anyone here knew... Thanks.

clean them first with the peroxide solution... then regular hand washing should keep them clean.... your food doesn't sit on them long enuff to worry about 'safety'.... enjoy your dinnerware!!... I'm still using the old Fiesta, crazing and all!!...
just be aware that wide swings in temperature for old patterns is very scary.... keep the water at one temp all the while you're washing them.... and no, you don't have to scald them!!!... and never in a dishwasher, thank you!!....
