I’m a packrat and I have mother’s baby curls. And all the family bibles. Give the kids time. Tastes change and someday they may really appreciate the china. I LOVE to hand wash dishes because the feel of a soapy plate is absolutely sensual. Admit that my niece doesn’t and I fear for the good china in a dishwasher.
I put a saucer from Mom’s china into the dishwasher and left it there for about 30 washings-——it did fine so the china would be OK for holiday use if they want to use the dishwasher——which I don’t blame them.
Who knows? Maybe someone will decide that they want it.
