Staffordshire pottery cleaning?
What is the best method of cleaning the Staffordshire pottery? I have several transferware plates some children who have a heavy staining / discoloration. I do not want to pay for a professional to clean, if there is an easy way to do it myself. Suggestions? And there are sites on the subject that offer free advice on cleaning ancient pottery?
