Villeroy and Boch dinnerware, anyone?

Several years ago I bought a lot of V/B Audun - 12 each of dinner plates, salad plates, bread and butter plates, fruit bowls, soup plates, cereal/rice bowls, mugs, in a mix of the 3 different patterns. The yellow borders of the dinner plates are completely ruined by gray marks; they look absolutely awful. I clean them periodically with baking soda or Bartender’s Friend, but they don’t come out completely and they always come right back. The other pieces have the gray marks, too, but they don’t show up as much on the salad plates with the black and white pattern on the rims.

I understand that these are marks from stainless flatware, but my flatware is also V/B (French Garden). I was so frustrated that I emailed V/B customer service a couple of weeks ago, and I received a very nice reply from someone who asked me to send photos. I haven’t had time to do it yet.
