[QUOTE="mirana, post: 9821058, member: 79705"]I understand it's frustrating. I live in a high humidity environment and it's a constant struggle even with climate control. :( The particular environment of the wall of your attic just wasn't like how this piece was kept prior to your purchase. I've been in the ancient pot storage of one of our local museums. There's a warehouse full of other items, but the pots got a specially made climate controlled storage all for themselves. I think if the item is moved to inside your home, the blackening shouldn't continue, but if it's a change in the pigment it might not be reversible. It would probably require analysis of what it's made of to know more.[/QUOTE]
