Patina...

To clean or not to clean, that is the question.  I was given a beautiful bowl by my parents, and we went back and forth over whether or not it should be cleaned.  Normally here (the US) we prefer to preserve the patina.  Overseas the preference varies.  This type of piece is normally cleaned, and as such we decided to clean it.

Original

Extra clean.

One more, this time with lemon scent.

The best part is if we give it a little while then the patina will come right back.  No harm, everyone wins.
