Lacqured Products

• Most polished products ship with a clear coat of oven baked lacquer
• The life of the lacquer is about 6 months in coastal areas and about 2 years or more in dry areas.
• To clean your lacquered decorative Brass/ Bronze products wipe clean with a moist soft cloth
• Do not scrub your lacquered copper products or use any kind of detergents on it
• Brass/ Bronze oxidizes on exposure to the atmosphere. The lacquer coat on your product merely retards the oxidation process
• In time, however, your lacquered products will darken and the Brass/ Bronze will begin to acquire a patina as it ages<li>
  

  Non-lacquered Products

• If used to store water, replace the water every 12 hours. Wipe dry after use
• Patinated pieces can be waxed every 2-3 months to keep them looking fresh, no abrasives or chemicals to be applied
• Do not use the piece to store any liquid apart from water as it is unsafe to expose copper based metals to food acids
• Brasso or similar alternatives can be used to restore exposed Brass/ Bronze finishes on the pieces
