Is China made in England in 1972 microwave safe?

The simple answer is yes. The more detailed answer is no. Any serving plate (your 1972 English china for example) made before the invention of the microwave oven is not microwave safe. They simple did not have the technology or foresite to incorporate microwave safe material in the plates. So please DO NOT put any product made before 1979 (the first year that commercial microwave ovens were sold) into the microwave. They will, at best, crack and, at worst, explode.
