My husbear had his 61st birthday today, and we had 8 friends over to celebrate. Since it's so close to Christmas, we decided to pull out his Grandmother's Limoges "Montmery" porcelain..you know, delicate, hand painted flowers, gold on the edges..50+ years old. We also pulled out the crystal gold-edged water glasses and the Riedel stemware. We also had to use some everyday blue and white Mikasa.
After a delicious dinner and much wine and champers, I think "hmmph, I'm not hand-washing all THAT on a Sunday night, let's see what the Miele wunderkind can do with it".
So a delicate scraping ensued, and I loaded every bit I could get into the Miele. Half a tab of Miele dishwasher detergent, and the crystal china program, and I hold my breath, hoping that there would still be gold on the rims of the glasses and the plates. As it turns out I had nothing to worry about! Everything came out spotlessly, with the exception of a weird double-sided champagne flute which filled with water.
Here's a couple of pics from my almost heart-stopping experiment.
