I just acquired my first Copper Kettle! It is in great condition but it is dirty. Would it be more valuable cleaned or should I leave it the way it is? Thanks in advance.

Cleaning doesn't hurt but removing the patina and bringing it to a high shine, if it is not solid copper, can ruin it by removing the copper coating and bringing through the base metal.

The beauty of copper is the soft patina.
