Not intended for children. Small metal components may present a choking hazard.
Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. While glass and brass are durable materials, excess humidity or water exposure may affect surface finish, patina, or stringing materials. Store in a dry environment when not in use.
Handle with clean, dry hands. Natural patina and subtle darkening are expected and valued as part of traditional brass craftsmanship. For gentle maintenance, fresh lemon or lime may be used to restore natural luster without compromising the patina.
