Reply to comment by Txidpeony in what should I NOT put in the dishwasher? by NoPressureLife

No crystal stemware. Iā€™m old so have a set from my wedding 40 yrs ago that still looks like new as always hand washed and barely used. Why was fancy china and crystal such a big deal lol

You should see the family fights that have happened in my house over my grandmother's Rosenthal china, it's up there with the Hummels. She got crystal from Austria too. We did use it for the holidays and every now and then for nice desserts. But the most I interact with it is washing the dust off šŸ˜‚

I think it's more about the fact that someone hand painted this, and you just can't find that care put into making an object on a large scale anymore. Things like china are maybe hand stamped now to pass as "hand painted", but someone didn't sit there and lovingly draw that flower on it.
