How to Clean Collector Plates

Collector's plates are ceramic plates decorated to commemorate historic events and holidays, or to celebrate pop culture and showcase the work of fine artists. Often created in limited numbers, the value of the plates can increase over time if they are kept in pristine condition. If your collector's plates are gathering dust, freshen them up with a quick wash that will not damage their gilt or enameled decoration.
