Reviving and Using Vintage China - Porcelain Bonechina

I’ve had the experience of pouring hot water for tea into an old, never-used teapot and having it crack instantly. This sometimes happens when china is old and hasn't been used. Is there any way to prevent this so I can start using the china? One suggestion I read was to soak it in a tub of water for a few days prior to use, but I haven't seen this recommendation elsewhere. Is it destined to live forever in a china cabinet?

Avoiding Cracks in Vintage China

To prevent your vintage china from cracking when introducing it to hot liquids, consider the following tips:

• Gradual Temperature Changes: Avoid sudden changes in temperature. Start by warming the teapot with warm water before introducing hot water.
• Soaking in Water: Although not a common recommendation, soaking the china in water for a few days may help. However, make sure to test a small piece first to avoid damage.
• Using Low Heat: If you plan to heat the teapot on a stove, use low heat initially and gradually increase it.

Introducing Vintage Bone China into Use

I have a collection of high-quality vintage bone china (Wedgewood, Shelley, Spode, etc.) from the 1950s-70s. Despite being unused and having no cracks or crazing, I want to ensure I can use it without it shattering. Here are some tips to ease it into use:

• Gradual Introduction: Start by using the china for cooler liquids and gradually increase to warmer temperatures.
• Avoid Microwaves and Dishwashers: Vintage china is often not suitable for microwaves or dishwashers. Hand wash with mild detergent and dry carefully.
• Inspect for Damage: Regularly check for any small cracks or crazing before each use to ensure its integrity.
