[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 60507, member: 59"]Work on the underside first after giving it a soak in warm water with a detergent like Dawn that cuts grease. That may loosen the upper layers of gunk enough to cut down on the effort necessary. The other thing to look for is gilt on the inside (most salts without glass inserts were gilded to protect the silver from salt corrosion.) I have to go out for a bit, but will check back. It's a very cute little thing![/QUOTE]
