These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection.

I'll stick with biological washing liquid. It uses enzymes which become active at low temperatures and target organic muck only.

Thanks Sue,
I usually use Fairy non -Bio,
but keep a bottle of Biological, for those 'more difficult to remove stains'   ::)
so i will try it on my glass

I'm horribly allergic to bio stuff - I keep it for glass only - with rubber gloves.
I also keep distilled water (I grow insect-eating plants which require this) and I use it for the final rinse in decanters and bottles, before putting in a "wick" of kitchen roll.

I wash a good many dirty animals. I just let them come to room temperature, then wash them in romm temp water with normal dishwashing detergent. The dirt build-up on them is rarely corrosive or crystallized, so it usually washes off with no problem. Occasionally I have to finish with a wet swab to get some crevice grime that didn't come clean.

Andy i believe the Felix with the black nose and fat face were later cartoons but the early silent movie one was more like Dawns , over the years they have changed him to make him more attractive the early one used to frighten the life out of some kids , imagine the 20s dim light, films that flickerd , lights out in the room and that ugly critter that sort of thing scared kids not like todays brats . There have been many variations.

Of the pieces we have that I am pretty certain of, that this cat is Japanese.

Thank you to everyone for your comments and suggestions - I've been reading and searching for your suggested leads. I never realised that this would be so difficult to identify! I've yet to find anything that looks just like it, so I will just have to leave the cat-bear-rat-mouse-thing on the shelf looking pretty until something similar appears to compare! Mind you, half the fun is all the other things you come across while you are looking! :)

Thanks.

~Dawn~
