Buying and caring for a RJ Glass piece
Most RJ Glass pieces are one of one: the listing shows the actual piece, and once it sells it is gone. Clean heady glass gently with warm, not hot, isopropyl alcohol and fine salt, swirl instead of shaking hard, and rinse with warm water. Avoid sudden temperature changes and abrasive brushes on sculpted details. See Cleaning Supplies.
