We have used portholes as a window for a sauna, as a wall cut-out covering to provide a portal to a lit fishbowl and added it to a cast iron base as a side table. This has a warm, worn patina that we have not tried to clean. The window shows grime but we also have not tried to use any cleaner on it. Our experience is that it will clean up nicely when a stringent cleaning solution is applied. With this type of item we prefer to wipe it clean with a soft cloth and leave it to the new owner to decide how or if to clean. Please review the photograph to see the condition details up close.

Our goal is to have your experience with us be a positive one. Therefore it is important to us that you get a clear understanding of what you are considering before you purchase. All of our pieces are well-loved and show signs of wear that comes along with aged items. Please feel free to ask questions as we are happy to provide any additional information you may need. less
