(1) A survey is given of European research on over‐glaze decorated tableware tested with various solutions, which are indicated as simulating practical service. (2) A study has been made of some typical European and American tableware with overglaze decorations tested in commercial dishwashing solutions and also in various other solutions which may be encountered in service. Results indicate that acids are harmful on cobalt blues in practically all cases. Alkalis are harmful to practically all decorations, apparently through the destruction of the flux used in preparing the colors. Some commercial cleaning solutions are much more destructive than others.
