Made from glass over 60 years ago, these have a loved and timeworn appearance which is still gorgeous. There maybe surface imperfections or mottling. Our packaging is single-use plastic free: anything we have bought is plastic free and recyclable. However we will also re-use plastic in good condition from deliveries we have received (foam sheets, bubble wrap etc) if it means we can extend its life and save it from landfill.

VINTAGE BAUBLE CARE
Vintage glass baubles are very delicate, but with the right care should give you many more years of joy.

CLEANING
Use a soft dry cloth or soft brush only to gently remove any surface grime. Do not use anything damp or abrasive as this is likely to remove any decoration, revealing the original silvered glass underneath. If your baubles do come into contact with moisture, allow them to dry thoroughly before touching the surface.

STORAGE
Use the acid-free tissue supplied to rewrap your baubles before carefully storing in a box. If you can, use the original packaging or one of our brown boxes. Don’t place heavier items on top of the box.

Store in a cool dry place, and avoid anywhere it gets very hot or very cold. Any dampness or humidity could cause the surface decoration to lift.
