When using plate hangers make sure they're not too tight as this will scratch the plates. If the clips aren't covered in soft material then insert a piece of cardboard or tissue paper in between the plate and hanger.
Metal or wooden plate racks are a good alternative to plate hanger but make sure it's securely attached to the wall.
A well defined groove in your display shelf will keep your plates in place.
Certificates of Authenticity and the original box add to the resale value, so try to hang on to them.
Never wash your collector plates in the dishwasher. Instead clean with tepid water and a squirt or two of liquid detergent.
Try using a small, soft bristle brush on delicate areas or a handheld hairdryer on a low setting when cleaning porcelain or pottery.
Wipe ceramic items with soapy water using a soft, damp cloth, and then allow them to dry naturally.
