1930s Pewter Vase

Wash by hand using warm water and a mild detergent, then dry immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, and prolonged exposure to moisture, which may dull the finish. Pewter naturally develops a soft patina over time; polish occasionally with a pewter-specific polish if a brighter appearance is desired. Keep away from acidic substances and standing water to preserve the surface.
