Style note — products made in the traditional Victorian style are often recognisable because of their lavish decoration. The design mixes various sources of inspiration, but the prevalent decorative features are rich floral ornaments, scrolls and foliage, often applied all over the items.
Facts of Lavish Tip — it's much better to avoid dishwasher for old glassware, although it is safe; but sand particles in the water will eventually make the surface dull.
