<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 433349, member: 5833&quot;]Believe the cameo to be glass, not ceramic, but probably won&#039;t go the ketchup route for fear of tomato stains.&nbsp; Is it just the vinegar that is the grunge remover while the tomato paste holds it in place?&nbsp; I only have some honey mustard.&nbsp; Maybe it would work just as well?</p><p><br /></p><p>Found this sort of Brass Cleaning for Dummies article that recaps methods that have been recommended here too:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://jewelrymakingjournal.com/how-to-clean-brass/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://jewelrymakingjournal.com/how-to-clean-brass/" rel="nofollow">https://jewelrymakingjournal.com/how-to-clean-brass/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Some of the verdigris came off with a moist swab.&nbsp; Now that I feel confident the blue is stable, may go ahead &amp; do the soapy water bit, just as I do for most cameos when they first arrive.&nbsp; Going to have to be very careful about making sure it gets thoroughly dry.&nbsp; Do have a little worry about water getting stuck under the cameo.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
