How to Store China

If your china makes it out only for special occasions, keep it safe and clean in the off-season with these easy steps.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • White Paper

Step1
Wash and dry your china thoroughly, keeping the manufacturer's instructions in mind.
Step2
Store all china in zippered china protectors. Clear plastic wrap provides an inexpensive yet equally effective alternative.
Step3
Stack plates together, placing a paper plate in between each one. This will prevent the base of a plate from damaging the decorative surface of the plate underneath it.
Step4
Stack cups together, keeping them separated with any type of paper product.
Step5
Protect the spout of a china teapot by simply slipping a cardboard toilet paper roll over it.
Step6
Store your collection of china in a low cabinet if you live in earthquake country - or if you consider yourself especially clumsy.

Tips & Warnings

  • You can use any kind of paper to separate plates and cups, including paper napkins.

on 11/22/2005 I store extra printed napkins from my wedding reception between pieces of my regular and Christmas china as a remembrance.

on 11/22/2005 I use flattened out coffee filters between my plates. You can also put them between cups. The filters also take up the least space.
