<p>[QUOTE="spartcom5, post: 262231, member: 5213"]Hey everyone found my very first bisque figurine today at a thrift store for $15. I have been looking at these for awhile now but never wanted to pay the high prices. I am very happy with this figure as it seems to be in good condition. My question is how do you care for these things? They seem so fragile. Mine is sitting on a shelf on display right now. Should it be behind glass away from getting dust on it? Is it alright to handle itt with your bare hands? I read somewhere you shouldn't touch bisque with you hands because of oils and what not. Also, is there anyway to clean this safely? It looks quite dirty as you can see on the yellow shoes and white face. I have read some stuff online talking about using a wash cloth and some water. Is that it? Thanks so much guys I appreciate it!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]82168[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]82169[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
