Hi - Thank you for reaching out to us. China is normally safe to wash in your automatic dishwasher. However, antique, metal trimmed, hand painted and over-the-glaze patterned china is vulnerable to fading with high water temperatures and detergent solutions. Therefore, these should not be washed in a dishwasher. Here are a few tips we offer - we recommend using a Light Wash cycle for your fine china and crystal. If there is any question, check with the manufacturer of the china or test wash one piece daily for at least one month for comparison with the rest of the set. Be sure to load the china items securely to prevent movement during the wash cycle. This will help minimize chipping or breaking. Consider allowing the dish load to dry naturally rather than using a heated dry option. We hope this is helpful. Kind regards - Vikki@GEAppliances
