How do I use a clear glass centerpiece?

These vessels function well as standalone decorative objects on dining tables, sideboards, or pedestals. They also accommodate seasonal displays such as fruit, flowers, or floating candles.

How do I clean antique glass?

Wash the glass gently in warm, soapy water using a soft cloth to protect the surface from scratches. Avoid submerging metal mounts or ormolu bases in water to prevent tarnishing or damage.
