HOW TO CLEAN PEWTER / Liberty Art Nouveau Pewter Vase with Clutha Glass. Pewter Cleaning Tips

Liberty Art Nouveau Pewter Vase with Clutha Glass. Pewter Cleaning Tips.
This is how I like to clean and look after antiques pewter from Liberty. It’s simple care and maintenance, something to highlight certain areas and give the piece a new zest of life, without over cleaning and ruining the original patination.
This vase was sold through Liberty circa 1910 and screams Art Nouveau. It has its original Clutha green glass free blown vase and carry’s company stamps on the base of the pewter from Liberty.
Hope this is of help and get in touch if you have a question, or a suggestion for a video you’d like me to make.
Thanks, David Harper

Shiny pewter = new tat made last year. Old pewter is supposed to look old. I''ve never put pewter in a dishwasher. Aluminum doesn't go into one either - ruins the finish even on new pieces. My mother killed my meat tenderizer by putting it in the dishwasher. (replaced it with a stainless steel one) One trick to getting all the water off is to use your oven. Set it on the lowest heat (mine goes to 150F) and turn it OFF when you open to put the piece in. Let it sit a while and then proceed from there.

Hello, I came across your video and I must say. I absolutely loved it. Very easy and full of info. Thank you for sharing. I do have a ? If you don’t mind. How should I clean my sterling silver spoons? I haven’t cleaned them in over 40 years.

It's a beautiful piece. The pewter and green glass look great together. Does the wax eventually get a little grimy? What happens if you skip that part?

[@DavidHarperAntiquesTV]

You can leave out the wax part, but as long as you buff the wax well in the beginning, it shouldn’t get grimy. D

I have an Artina Zinn pitcher with grapes and it has darker spots I tried vinegar and flour, it made it lighter, it was almost black, but the spots are still there. What do you recommend.

[@RadomKidsareme000]

silver polish that is non-abrasive works best. I use "Scotchgard Tarni-Shield Silver Polish" with great results, but it will definitely remove all the tarnish.

[@annhouse3466]

What beeswax do you recommend?

[@DavidHarperAntiquesTV]

Good quality traditional wax with no silicon

[@peteandgracequintana1461]

Where does one buy clear Beeswax?

[@DavidHarperAntiquesTV]

DIY store or online. Don’t use a Polish with silicone in though!

Sorry I wish you would have done the inside. I offer no offense. I could hear my mother’s spirit saying this to me. Clean the whole piece.
