<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 3065590, member: 111&quot;]Personally, if mine, would be extremely cautious in asking a jeweler to &#039;clean&#039; this piece, they often like to use buffers, and it would be a shame if they did anything other than hand polishing.&nbsp; I truly dislike overcleaned/overpolished silver - I have a Tiffany &#039;Ailanthus&#039; salt spoon that came as part of an inexpensive lot, I know the pattern well, but it has been buffed so much that the pattern is softened, the oxidation in the crevices is gone, and the marks are just barely visible when held at a certain angle (the salt damage in the bowl is still visible, but very shiny now), still a pretty thing, but a bit &#039;lifeless&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That was Jensen&#039;s designation, as to how many sellers know that, couldn&#039;t really say...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
