Good one Janetpjohn!

 

Just as an aside, this isn't the famous Josiah Wedgwood factory but a different Wedgwood factory. Godden's has a mark like yours with ESTAB 1835 on the top and date it c. 1925+. It's an older pattern though, back at least when the company was Podmore Walker I believe.

Anyway, a very long soak in hair bleach/peroxide (not chlorine bleach) followed by a long soak in clean water would work wonders on it.

 

Yes they are, for a big chunk of meat.

 

Meat platter with tree well:

 

Yep - for the Sunday roast. They're still made, at least in metal, the last I looked. Not that anyone does a Sunday roast any more in these parts.

 

how long would a long soak be? i have tried it with a piece of cottonwool soaked in peroxide overnight but it doesn't work do i need to dip the whole plate in a "bucket" of peroxide??

 

Yes, you'll need a container (plastic bin with a vented cover works well) that will hold the entire platter. Completely submerge the platter in 30% or 40% peroxide. Put it somewhere where it's not in direct sunlight. You may need to soak for a week or more. Warnings: wear rubber gloves and be careful pouring the peroxide into the container so it doesn't splash onto your skin or anything else. Don't breathe the fumes. I keep the container in my utility room where no one will disturb it. The peroxide will turn color as it removes the grime but you can save it and use it again.

Well that would be the most productive. I have wrapped pieces in paper towels and poured several cups of peroxide of 30% or 40% strength in doubled heavy plastic bags or covered containers and left for days or a week or more. It's strong stuff and will hurt if you get it on your skin and will bleach spots on clothing etc.

Heat will accelerate the process but as it could be dangerous and can develop an odor so I'll let that be. But yes, it takes a long time and quite a lot of peroxide. It also takes a long soak in water that probably will require changing in order to get it all out.

 

so, an overnight would not be long enough
tq @ascot @say_it_slowly i will try again when i get more peroxide

 

Hi,
Do not try this on anything that has not got a clear finish and be very careful because any red or pink under the glaze may lighten or disappear. I now only use it on white ironstone or something with only one or two colors. I lost several really nice pieces with the red and pink design. Several times I have gotten away soaking red and pink but after the horrible loss, I no longer do any colored pieces.

I've bought a few here and there to clean gunk out of glassware.

 

Hi,
I buy them fresh from the store to clean glassware and china. My teeth don't come out since that eBay SOB is out of my life.
