[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you inherited "china", how do you know if it's microwave and dishwasher safe? I have my grandmother's set, but I suspect it's not bone china, but more like pottery? It's by Winfield, a company in California, and she got it in the late 1940s. I've thought about just using it daily instead of displaying it, but while I don't care if I lose a piece here or there, I do want to take a reasonable amount of care with it. [/quote] You could do a web search for the specific pattern to find details. I did a quick search of that company and they made both porcelain china and earthenware pottery. You can also hold it up to the light - earthenware pottery is not translucent. Metallic designs are not microwave safe and are best hand washed (i.e gold trim or accents).[/quote]
