In the Byzantine and Orthodox tradition, the 12 Bells on our Censer with Bells symbolize the Twelve Apostles. The bells themselves symbolize Gods invitation to all people to gather at the church, the House of God and the Gate of Heaven.

Care Instructions:

Cleaning & Polishing

• Dust regularly with a soft, dry cotton or microfiber cloth.
• For deeper cleaning, use mild soap with lukewarm water; rinse and dry immediately.
• Occasionally polish with a soft silver-polishing cloth to restore shine.
• Never use abrasive pads, harsh polishes, or chemical cleaners.

Tarnish Prevention

• Tarnish is natural over time; minimize it by storing items in an anti-tarnish cloth or airtight box.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to air, humidity, or direct sunlight.
• Do not leave liquids, food, or acidic substances on the surface for long.

Storage & Handling

• Store in a cool, dry place.
• Wrap or place items separately to avoid scratches.
• Handle with clean, dry hands to prevent stains or dullness.
• For functional pieces (like trays or bowls), line with fabric or use liners to protect the plating.

Note: With gentle cleaning, mindful storage, and occasional polishing, your brassware item will retain its brilliance for years.
