mutinysoccermom asked:
I have a beautiful old platter - but it is crazed (has little cracks all over it) and it is discolored on the cracks. I tried a bleach solution but it did not work. The discoloration may be soot from a fire at my Mom’s house.

cicatrix asked:
I bought a great ceramic platter from the thrift store, but it has a few spots where the glaze is scratched, and stains have soaked into the body. They didn’t come out with normal washing. Can I soak the platter in a bleach solution? Will that help? Will it damage the glaze? Is there a better way to clean it?
It’s white, with a bit of a yellowish patina.
