China and Crystal
Dear Aunt Daisy, Recently I have been told that china and crystal which have been stored or packed for any length of time are prone to break when brought into use again. Could you please enlighten me if there is any way of preventing such an occurrence? I have had china and crystal packed for four or five years, and would not care to lose it if it can be avoided. Please answer this query through The Listener.-"Breakables." I have never heard of this tendency and would not worry about it. We all remember how the early settlers brought out with them, in sailing ships, their valuable old glass and china, and sometimes could not unpack it for many months; yet people still treasure some of Grandma’s tea-cups, etc. Just wash the china very carefully. Perhaps some of our Daisy Chain may be able to add something to this.
