<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ola402, post: 375391, member: 182&quot;]I just bought this beautiful Haviland China at a local auction.&nbsp; It is marked with Incrustation and some other words.&nbsp; A person at the auction told me that Incrustation on Chas Field Haviland means that the pieces have been encrusted with 24kt gold decoration and they are very desirable.&nbsp; I got them for their beauty, the encrustation design is a bonus.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>When I got them home, I noticed what looks like mineral stains on the plates.&nbsp; If they were glass, I would describe them as &quot;sick&quot;.&nbsp; I tried to take a decent photo of the sickness.&nbsp; I need help with any cleaning advice.&nbsp; Last night I tried soaking them in Dawn water, then soaking them in Dawn plus white vinegar, but that didn&#039;t work.&nbsp; Any other ideas?&nbsp; If I have to throw them away, you will hear some serious moaning from Ohio.&nbsp; I have the cups and saucers, bread plates and one or 2 salad plates that seem OK.&nbsp; It&#039;s mostly the dinner plates.</p><p><br /></p><p>The house that these came from is on the Scioto River.&nbsp; My guess is that humidity from the river along with improper storage caused this (or maybe it flooded at one time).&nbsp; However, I got a lot of other plates from the same house and they are fine.&nbsp; Don&#039;t get me started on the house.&nbsp; YUCK!&nbsp; What a place to be storing so many beautiful china and glass pieces.&nbsp; Here&#039;s the photos, TY!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]129264[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]129265[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]129266[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
