How do I display vintage glassware in open shelving?
Display vintage glassware in open shelving by grouping by colour or height and leaving space so light passes through each piece; place coloured glass where daylight can catch it. Keep sets loosely together. Check vintage glass against the light for cracks, chips and fine scratches. A luxury vase anchors the top shelf.
How should vintage glassware be washed?
Wash vintage glassware by hand in lukewarm water with mild soap, never the dishwasher, since heat and old glass do not mix and gilt or painted trim can lift. Dry with a soft cloth. Older glass may show wear, which is expected. Explore related vintage decor pieces.
