Here are some useful hints, gathered over the years, to help you take care of your collection of crystal, glass, porcelain, china or pottery: Border shelves in your kitchen or den on which you display crockery, platters, dishes, or colored glassware looks great, but remember that you're setting yourself up for frequent cleanings, especially in the kitchen with its greasy cooking fumes.

become very ugly and very difficult to clean if they are allowed to remain dirty too long. Accessories always stay looking better longer on glass enclosed shelves. Change accessories often. This provides a good impetus to clean, and can help change the look and the atmosphere of a room with very little effort. Be sure always to store accessories clean and well wrapped. CHANGE WINE in decanters and water in vases frequently. If you don't, the resulting stains can be impossible to remove. Always lift objects from the base and use both hands. Why tempt fate? Use this rule when visiting shops, too; proprietors will appreciate the extra care. Hanging unique and beautiful plates, dishes and platters is a great idea which I always encourage. Make sure, however, that you use those inexpensive plate hangers available in stores; don't try to makeshift or jerry-rig anything on your own. Avoid hanging cups on hooks. Display glassware away from sunny or drafty windows and, of course, away from the stove in order to keep temperatures constant Glass and crystal have been known to shatter spontaneously Colored glass looks nice in a sunny window, but the colors can fade. You're better off displaying near a lamp or in a lighted cabinet for the same effect IN KEEPING WITH the idea of constant be sure never, no matter how dirty

or greasy, to wash these accessories in hot or boiling water. Use luke warm water and a mild detergent. Line the bottom of your sink with a rubber pad or grate, and wash only a few pieces at a time. Try soaking badly stained glass in salt and vinegar, and pottery in bleach. For narrow neck pieces, such as old bottles, use coffee grinds or uncooked rice to remove the stains. Never use a metal bottle brush. Write to me with your hints, and I'll be happy to pass them on. I'm compiling a list of the cleaning uses of ordinary vinegar, so if you have any sugges- , tions send them in. s Send any questions or requests for information about antiques or home design to "Antiques," The Herald, P.O. Box 430 Cape May Court House. N.J. 08210." If your question involves the value of a piece, be sure to send a good quality photo along with a detailed description of the item, including all measurements and any flaws. Questions are also welcome on repairing, restoring, and refinishing. If I don't know the answer. I'll do what I. can to find out.

I'll try to answer some mail each week, and if the volume of mail warrants it, I'll devote an entire column just to answering your questions Looking forward to hearing from you.
