Some of them have chips. As I am from the new and lazy generation, I have a few questions: 1) What is this "grinding" that can be done to repair chips, and how would I go about finding a store that would do it? ( I live in Montreal, Canada) 2) Is there some form of sealent/protection that can be put on the dishes (professionally or DIY) to make them dishwasher safe? 3) If you use less hot water in the dishwasher, put it on a "gentle" cycle, and use a gentle, natural soap such as the Melaleuca oil based soap, can you wash old china in the dishwasher?

I can't say for sure, sorry. hmmm, Brian I would go to a store that sells china pieces like that and ask them, bring a sample of the paper and one of the dishes with you.

The kind that children used to draw on easils.I don't intend to use it except once a year and wondered would any type of chemical or acids leach out of the paper and fade or discolor my black marble and gold china ?
