On a recent trip to the Salvation Army I purchased a white ironstone platter for 49 cents.
Country Home magazine
What I Did:
#1 - Soak ironstone in clear water for 24 hours.
I let my platter soak for 6 days. After removing it from the peroxide it was already much whiter.
Final Results:
You can see from the pictures below this process really works. Most of the large brown spots have disappeared and the platter is much whiter.
What I learned:
Since this is such an easy process, I won’t be passing up ironstone that is significantly discolored any more.
Although my results were not as dramatic as the Country Home picture shown above - my platter still had a few brown marks - it was definitely a lot whiter and brighter.
I am looking forward to trying Pam’s method for repairing chipped and cracked ironstone - as soon as I find an appropriate piece of china.
The saleswoman at the beauty supply store told me the peroxide would remain good for a year after it was opened. She also told me it could be saved and reused. Does anyone know if this is true? I saved the peroxide I bought but want to make sure it is safe to use again.
