great article especially for those on a budget, also if you don’t like to use strong chemical try using lemon juice, it works just as well.

Woohoo! I just picked up my first piece of ironstone – Johnson Bros – at Goodwill last wk. 0.99 for a large platter. Looks like I have to pick up some hydrogen peroxide as well. Thanks so much for this!

Is this peroxide solution good for other antique dishes as well? I have a pitcher that is from the 1800′s. It is similar to ironstone but has an embossed coppery purple grapes and leaves pattern on it. It needs some cleaning but I don’t know what to do other than soap and water.

Can’t wait to try this out. Lord knows I’m a sucker for stained dishes. Wonder if it would work on transferware too.
