<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 62268, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> It is possible that it started out as a decanter. If you just want to show it off pour mineral oil into the "vase" and swirl it around. Turn it upside down to drain. The mineral oil will coat the inside and hide the "waterstains". You will have to do it everytime you wash it, but it will show marvelous. I have several old decanters one over 200 yrs old and they look fabulous with the oil coat. Since they have their tops they do not need "inside" cleaning except every few years. I got them cheap since they were so "sick". I feel sorry for the person who dumpster dives after I'm gone. They will wash them and then when they dry they will look like hell. I am sure the person will think "what did I do?".<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /></p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
