Teapot and companions have arrived safely! LOVE your packing material! First I thought it was feed sacks (fresh from a discussion thereof), then I thought it was a circus. AHA! Tis a birthday party!!! I am delighted to have the set, and will take great care of it. However, (LOL!!) I can see why those pieces may have put you off the whole process of silver polishing. The sugar bowl, when faced with a bit of Twinkle, seemed to have an attitude of, "Yeah! Ya think so? Fugeddaboutdit!" Despite the difficulties, I shall prevail. Along with however many Twinkles it may take! Thank you much!!
