Care guide

Glazed ceramic and stoneware

• Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately
• Avoid abrasive sponges and bleach-based cleaners, which dull a matte glaze
• Empty and dry vases fully before storing to prevent watermarks
• Avoid sudden temperature changes, which can craze the glaze

Hand-blown glass

• Hand wash in warm water with a mild detergent — never the dishwasher
• For cloudy interiors, soak with warm water and a little white vinegar, then rinse
• Dry and polish with a lint-free cloth to keep the surface clear

Brass

• Dust with a dry, soft cloth; brass dislikes standing moisture
• Remove wax by letting it cool completely, then lifting it away and wiping with warm water
• Brass naturally warms and patinas — use a brass polish sparingly if you prefer it bright

Natural stone — travertine and marble

• Wipe with a damp cloth; never use acidic cleaners such as vinegar or lemon
• Use coasters under wet glassware and wipe spills quickly
• Re-seal once a year with a natural stone sealer to protect against staining

Plaster and composite sculpture

• Dust with a dry, soft brush
• Do not use water or spray cleaners on unsealed plaster
• Always lift from the base rather than the narrowest point

Faux florals and dried stems

• Dust with a soft brush or a hairdryer set to cool
• Keep out of prolonged direct sunlight to protect the colour
• Reshape wire-cored branches by hand rather than bending at the same point repeatedly

Candles

• Trim the wick to 5mm before every use for a clean, even flame
• Never leave a burning candle unattended or within reach of children and pets
• Store flat, away from direct heat, to prevent warping
