<p>[QUOTE="curiousmedz, post: 5675204, member: 79401"]thank you for replying. i am very happy and grateful for all the replies and the time you all spared for my post. yes, when i first got the teapot, the stains were all over it. i scrubbed it clean with baking soda and salt until the inside became whiter. there are some scratches too, and the scratches are shiny and white. i am thinking of scrubbing the exterior too so the shine will come out but my sister said i will be ruining it if it is really antique so i should have it checked by a jeweler first. and that's how it came to this. i'm sorry, realized i didn't have good quality pictures of the teapot, i will try to take more focused close up pictures when i get home. but most scratches are on the side, not much on the bottom.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
