[Clayart] Hanging plates

[Fred]

I like the wire coat hangers fine. I put up three big plates up on the vent over the kitchen stove about 30 years ago and they are still up there right now. We had a pretty good earthquake  and a lot of attic work overhead on the chimney that the vent is connected. to. 
I just went over and looked at them from below to see the hanger and it is as Mike described.

I just use a coat hanger bent over at the tips to hold the plate rim top and bottom and wire the pieces together in the middle for hanging. I have drilled stoneware before with  cement drill but it is never a very neat hole. Just use a lot of water when drilling. Mike Gordon

However, they have neither holes in the foot ring or lugs for hanging. The foot rings are sturdy but don’t really have a deep enough indentation to wrap a wire around it either. Is there a safe way to drill holes in the foot ring at this stage. The pieces are fully vitrified but do not have glaze on the foot ring.
