Care and notes

Basic care extends service life and preserves appearance; follow these simple points.

• Rinse salt and dry thoroughly after exposure to sea air—marine environments accelerate corrosion.

• Avoid abrasive cleaners that can dull the silver finish or damage enamel.
• Collectors: retain and provide the required licensing documents (licenza prefettizia ex art. 28 TULPS) for purchase approval.
