A: For most collectables we recommend dusting with a soft cloth, a small, soft paintbrush or makeup brush, or using the spray designed for computer keyboards, which emits puffs of air to remove dirt and dust particles from small spaces.
Items made of hand-painted porcelain may be cleaned with a mild soap-and-water solution, then rinsed in clear water and carefully dried by hand. However, if they are decorated with simulated jewels, feathers, fabric or leather, they should be hand dusted only. Limited-edition collector plates are for display purposes only. They should never be used for serving food because of the rare metallic pigments fired into the plates for colour fidelity.
Never wash any of your fine collectables in a dishwasher. Avoid placing your collectables in direct sunlight for long periods of time, and always handle them with care.
