Hey everyone. Beautiful bottle, I love it and would not polish it either. I noticed that someone mentioned having tarnished silver. I have found the easiest way, not labor intensive at all, way to take care of this. It sounds crazy, but works like magic. Line a pot or dish with tin foil. Spread a fair amount of baking soda on top of the tin foil, then pour on hot water ( I usually let the water almost boil in a different pot ). Just put your silver in and wait. Then, just rinse and dry. The baking soda reacts with the tin foil and cleans like I've never seen before. I did this on an entire tea set with no rough polishing. Just so you know, as it cleans, it gives off a stinky odor, but definitely worth it!
