Stack with a cloth or paper between plates, since grinding is what chips rims over time. Handcrafted glass has small variations between pieces — that is the process, not a fault. Wash promptly and remove any cloudiness with warm water and lemon rather than abrasive scrubbing, which permanently scratches glass and looks worse than the cloudiness did.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst ceramic, glass never stains or holds odours and can be microwaved, though it shows chips more visibly. Against thin pressed glass, handcrafted hard glass is heavier and far more durable.
