Hi,
Thank you for the interesting article.
Do you know if all blue and brown stamp Acapulco dinnerware items are dishwasher safe?

Hi Karen – a question I get asked a lot about many different designs. I haven’t seen any Acupulco with a “Diswasher safe” stamp…but even if it was stamped “dishwasher safe” my view is that any collectable (and expensive) dinnerware design like this I wouldn’t recommend putting in a dishwasher regularly – as dishwasher detergent is caustic.
