<p>[QUOTE="KylieS, post: 9461846, member: 22292"]Hello all! I found this rather worse-for-wear chafing dish in the local Emmaus (thrift) in France and bought her home to live with me. It's missing the insert, and I didn't think it was very old - can't find a maker (yet) but the mark shows it to be pre 1860 and made in Metal Plaque, the French version of old Sheffield plate. My problem is that it has a lot of corrosion at the inner rims - very rough and bubbly, though the structure is still intact - and I don't know how to clean it off. Thought I should try to get some cleaning tips and advice from the experts about the best way to proceed with a little light restoration <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie13" alt=":angelic:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie58" alt=":joyful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for any advice you can give!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]440299[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]440300[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]440301[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]440302[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]440303[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
