These belonged to my grandmother. Some are in excellent condition, but quite a few are very discoloured. Does anyone know how to clean them carefully to remove the discolouration? Or are they stuck this way?
Any ideas are appreciated!
Thanks
Hi, nrogers721. :-)
The harsh truth is that there is no 100% safe way to remove stains like that.
Here are some things you can try:

You're at least fortunate in that you know the brand and pattern names.
Replacement pieces are available (athough, I don't know that I'd recommend getting them from Replacements dot com, because they're pretty expensive).
