Do not leave gold-plated flatware to soak overnight, and do not let food dry on the surface, since acidic food can pit the finish. Rinse in clear hot water and dry with a towel, as air-drying causes water spots. GOLD FLATWARE CARE: Wash gold flatware by hand in hot soapy water. Flatware that is: gold plated, wood handle, composite handle, plastic decorated handle, porcelain handle or enameled / cloisonné is hand wash only. I will describe any noticeable flaw and if it’s manufacturing related or use related. Factory blemish include: crazing, firing flaws, bubbles and any other manufacturing related flaw.įlatware is imperfect even when is it new old stock. All my pictures and description will tell the item's condition, quality and if any flaw or imperfection is present that is NOT a factory blemish.Īll of our breakable items will come with special one time use removable sticker attached to the bottom of the item.įiring flaws are not considered damage (chips, cracks or repairs). All my items are inspected before being listed and once again after a sale is made to ensure quality. I do my best to describe the items listed and provide pictures to show condition. Due to the nature of vintage and pre-owned items I can't accept returns. Please ask questions and request more pictures before you buy. Normal storage scratches/ handling smudges, shelf / storage wear, storage dust, etc may be present. Even when an item is marked as “New Old Stock” “NOS” “NIB”, etc it doesn’t mean that it is without flaw.
