I bought a vintage Louis Poulsen Artichoke in copper.
Can anyone give me a suggestion how to polish or regain the beautiful copper color.
Thanks a lot.
Mike

There are plenty of copper...
There are plenty of copper polishing products available in most well stocked hardware stores.
Post a photo so we can see the condition if you want a better answer.
You can expect an argument about whether you should polish your copper, too.

Patina is good.
Leave it alone.

Plating vs coating
vs uncoated copper: each condition calls for different measures. Tread lightly -- and if you're going on Antiques Roadshow with the piece, even original dust is apparently valued (well, not quite -- but you know what I mean).
[edited to correct the spelling of the second vs -- really !]
