 How to keep

Polishing with a dry cloth is the best way to keep the item well-looked after.
Brass is an alloy composed mainly of iron and zinc.
A special trait of brass is that when exposed to air over time, it oxidizes and dulls.
This dulling of the brass gives it an antique feel and a unique charm.
It can be brought back to its original polished state using a metal polish.
With vases and other objects that hold water, a green rust may appear,

but this can also be removed with a metal polish.
