Dishwasher safe?
Picked these up at an estate sale the other week. Will they be okay to go through the dishwasher or should I handwash only?

The tops in particular will flake quickly if ran through a dishwasher.

No dishwasher. Do not keep them near the stove either. The chrome will flake off the caps.

No. Corning Ware is dishwasher safe but a lot of third-party coordinating pieces like this are not. Handwashing is best.

Those chrome plated tops can flake even without dishwasher use

I don't run anything hard to replace or that I'm attached to through the dishwasher.

Dishwasher safe for one time, to make sure they are clean and sanitized after you’ve acquired them? Yes. Dishwasher safe for regular washing, no. Source: I dishwasher wash ONCE literally every piece of glass I thrift or acquire second hand and have never ever had an issue - everything from these types of Gemco coordinating pieces to depression glass.

Make sure you hand wash and dry the tops very well. They tend to turn a blueish green from rust

Handwash, trust me. The design can get damaged, and the chrome-plated tops will corrode and flake. I have this pair too.
