My Grandmothers fine crystal service set was broken when her dining room cabinet shelf broke during christmas. The set was given to her as a wedding present in the 1940's. I have searched ebay and yahoo looking for something similar as a replacement with no luck? Is there another site out there?

How to paint over already designed dinner plates?
Sarah
My mom was amazing and gave my boyfriend and I her old kitchen dining set. It was a large variety of dishes that has a design on them. The design is kinda out dated and we were hoping there was a way to paint over it with a new design? We want something that will last and that is machine washable. I tried searching for something but I feel like most were DIY which I'm 100% fine with I'm just nervous doing it myself means worse quality and it'll lead to having to redo it in a week. Any ideas or stores that have been know to do something like this?
Answer
You can get paint for glazed surfaces that can be applied and then baked in a home oven. It's supposed to be dishwasher proof after that but is not recommended for contact with food. It's really intended for the outsides of things, not the insides. It's probably safe, but the manufacturer won't guarantee it for that use.
I have used this paint and so far it has performed as advertised. It's made by Pebeo and many craft/art supply stores sell it. Martha Stewart also makes it. It is not, however, suitable for large areas, it's time consuming to apply and takes some practice to get it right, and it's expensive. It would be cheaper, probably, to buy a moderately priced set of dishes.
I do not know if it's possible to apply a decorative glaze to something already glazed. It isn't something I have ever heard of anyone doing. As the first poster mentions, glazing is done at very high temperatures not achievable unless you have access to a pottery kiln. It would definitely be cheaper to buy another set of dishes than to even attempt to reglaze what you have.
If you keep the dishes, don't call them outdated; call them retro.
