When you display your iron stone you can display it on cabinets like this or open cabinets is a really subjective thing depends on how much room you have in your house and how you want to use it. If you want to use it for just display your going to put it on the shelf and not take it out or if your going to put it in your cupboard and use it everyday. On some of this iron stone is durable enough to put in your dishwasher I highly recommend that people don't use them, that's just my from my experience I find that there is less chipping and the breaking down on the porcelain from the heat is not exactly the most ideal thing to do. So washing them by hand is what I recommend but for displaying them you can it's pretty much a subjective thing you can display all your iron stone in one. If you have one pattern or your just collecting cups and saucers you can display just the cups and saucers its really a subjective thing so it's whatever what you decide to collect. And however much room you have to display these things is really up to you.
