metal utensils when stirring or serving.
For candlesticks, do not secure
candles with molten wax or allow candles to burn within three inches of
the candle cup.

materials, and avoid sliding or twirling the glass.

Cleaning your Romanian Glassware:
Romanian Hand Blown Glassware are
considered collectors pieces. These are Not dishwasher safe. Washing
these products in the dishwasher will cause dramatic loss of color in the

a towel or rubber mat.
If stains appear on the vessel, gently
rub with half a lemon, wash with vinegar, or soak the interior with
powdered dentifrice dissolved in lukewarm water.
In areas with very hard water and high
mineral content, distilled water will help prevent staining.
