In my other life I had Limoge china. Servings for 12. beautiful covered tureens, butter chips, but alas I lost them in the divorce. My MIL remembered it arriving from France in a barrel. I don't know what the design was called but it had violets all over it. It was beautiful. I certainly don't miss that sorry husband, but I do so miss that china! :lol:

It sounds wonderful but I think you still did very well on your upgrade. :D

Oh, yes. Peter is everthing I could hope for. Maybe he could put his clothes in the hamper!

Kathy, I actually looked up violets on Limoges and yes, they are beautiful pieces!!

One good way to live easier with these little annoyances like the hamper thing is to realize that for every action that he does that irritates you, you do something that is equally irritating to him. So it really all equals out.

On the dish front, the peroxide did nothing last night. I'll try Fitzies recommendation to let it sit, as I may have rinsed it off too early. All but that one seem to be drying and clearing up with time. Unstacked, thanks for that tip.

I collect ironstone and the older pieces often have a lot of crazing. Sometimes the peroxide works and sometimes not. It's always worth a try.

I thought of another thing that might work. I tried it once and it worked a charm. Try your hairdryer. If the spots weren't there before you soaked them, they are most certainly moisture. A friend of mine told me about this years ago and I had forgotten it.

My last post on this, only one dish is left with darkness, and it was probably there before, as it is on a crackline. All the darkness on the other plates is nearly completely gone after a few days of drying.

Those will NEVER get soaked again, a major mess up on my part.
