Happy New Year Orchidians!!!

    My husband has this beautiful vase made of copper and I thing some
    kind silver leaf. The patina was great for me, but my husbande asked
    me to clean it to see how it looks. I started cleaning it with
    regular silver, metal compounds. I discovered that the vase has a
    layer varnished, I assume to prevent from getting patina. It looks
    awful, all streaky!!! How can I clean it without harming the vase? Do
    any varnish solvent will be safe?? 

Thanks
