After purchasing a beautiful set of earthenware (16 place settings plus serving pieces), I began to notice a moldy smell coming from the cabinet. I re-washed everything, but the problem continued. I then started noticing black marks along the unfinished bottom edge of the pieces. After doing some research we found that earthenware is very porous and the water from the dishwasher was being absorbed into the unglazed portion of the plate or bowl. When stacked (even if seemingly completely dry), this water would seep out and be trapped between the plates. Because we had so many place settings, the pile did not always rotated and the items that were least used would develop mold. The initial "solution" from customer service was to store the pated upright or stack upside down (essentially trapping the water). Neither of these were practical storage solutions, so they allowed me to return them for store credit. I no longer buy earthenware because of this experience.
The bottom ring of an earthenware plate may smell moldy due to moisture getting trapped underneath, which creates a damp environment perfect for mold growth. To prevent this, ensure the plates are fully dried after washing and stored in a dry, well-ventilated area to avoid moisture buildup. Regularly inspect and clean the entire plate, including the bottom ring, to prevent mold and odors.
