Do you have elegant glass plates? Are they getting a little scratched up? If you use glass plates they will show some wear, but you can avoid putting extra wear on them due to stacking.
Safe Storage for Elegant Glass Plates
Here we’re using two Fostoria Century dinner plates to show you the easy way to stack plates safely. See that sharp edge on the ground rim base? When you stack these that sharp edge will dig into the plate below and add extra wear. We’re all about keeping our glass looking good, so let’s see how to avoid this.
Always place something soft between each plate. You can use
* Paper plates
* Paper towels
* Large coffee filters
* Anything that’s large enough to cover the ground base rim
It isn’t only elegant glass with ground base rims that can cause stacking wear. Depression glass and other pressed patterns that have raised ribs or panels also wear when another plate is stored on top. Notice the wear lines that run from the rim to the center on this Fruits plate.
You can prevent this type of wear the same way: Place a piece of paper towel or paper plate between each plate to prevent wear.
