How to seal acrylic paint on a ceramic plate, with porcelain paint matt ?

dinnerware sets unique image

William He

For my sisters for Christmas i would like to paint plain white plates to create a unique dinnerware set for each of them. I love to paint and think the idea of transporting my art to there dinner table sounds so fun! however, from reading on numerous blogs- i understand that acrylic paint DOES NOT hold up after many washings on ceramics, and therefore you should use ceramic/porcelain/china paint... which is specifically designed for painting on these types of surfaces. ok... so, my question is: (because ceramic paint is so ridiculously expensive!! and i have a huge collection of acrylics at home..) if i paint on a plate with acrylic paint, let it dry, and then coat it in something like this Pebeo Porcelaine medium matt (http://www.amazon.com/Pebeo-Porcelaine-Medium-45-Milliliter-Bottle/dp/B005KOH342/ref=lh_ni_t) .... bake at 325 for 30 minutes-- do you think that will work? Has anyone tried this method? did sealing the acrylic paint in a ceramic finish make the art dishwasher, scrub brush, and my-three-year-old-neice's-craziness safe?? THANKS!
***
i guess i should have specified. i am refering to non-toxic acrylic paint which i use when finger painting with the little ones- who like to eat the paint ;]

Answer
No it won't work. You could go to "Paint the Town " or similar place and do one plate for each person.
Toxic or non-toxic- it will not work.

Isn't there a site where I can get info about Altwasser Silesia china patterns? All I pull up is Ebay!!! LM

I inherited a full set of dinner china for 12 from my grandmother. There are several poorly mended pieces that I'd love to replace and then use. Upon looking, I find "Silesia" is not the pattern name..but all I can find on the net as links always takes me back to ebay...where I eventually want to go but only after I can educate myself a bit. My pattern is a thin pastel rim (3/4") with little pink roses interspersed with "medallions" of dark and light blue. The whole thing is interwoven with gold or wheat -colored trim and metallic gold bands on a pale yellow background. Most of the plate is white with some thin metallic gold bands.

How many sets of dishes do you think one should have?

dinnerware sets corelle image

silvercome

I have two, but I've seen another that I just love. It's not a matter of keeping a Kosher kitchen; I just love dishes.

Are three services too many?

Thanks for your input.

Answer
If it's not going to break your budget, and you have a place to put it, go ahead!

I have: one full formal set of good china (service for 8), a smaller set of good china with lunch, soup and salad plates only (service for 6), one "everyday" set of Corelle (service for 8), a collection of restaurant ware by Homer Laughlin (creator of Fiesta Ware) in beige (service for 6), a 4 pc set of different colors of vintage Fiesta Ware, a 4 pc set of vintage 1950s casual dinnerware, a 4 pc set of inexpensive fall colored dishes, and a 4 pc set of turquoise colored dishes, as well as several (about 40 or 50) "tea and toast" sets for entertaining.

It just depends on what you can afford and how much storage space you have!

Enjoy!!

what is better Bone China or Corelle dinnerware?

Zima31

I know bone china is the strongest dinnerware that doesn't chip easily, and Corelle is made of Vitrelle glass that is also chip resistant. But if you had to choose which would be a better, stronger, break resistant dinnerware, which would you choose?

Answer
As a Potteries UK resident,living in the home of world famous bone china,I'd say.For better dinnerware bone china looks best on a formal setting-imagine the President or our Queen hosting a meal served on glassware.For strength,bone china has been demonstrated to support a London 'bus on four teacups.
Glass is more resistant to breakage,but chips more readily than bone china.
As a clincher a set of bone china,such as Royal Albert "Country Rose" pattern with beautiful decoration and gilding would grace any home and be a prized heirloom for generations.
