Two Crystal Bowls
Dear Aunt Daisy, I have two beautiful crystal bowls, wedding presents, which, owing to lack of cupboard room, I stored away oneinside the other, Now that I want to use them I find they are stuck together. I have tried putting cold water in the inner one and heating the outer; immersing in luke-warm water; and olive oil immersion, all without success. Do you think you could give me some helpful suggestions?

You have tried the usual methods--except the one of putting olive oil
between the two bowls, using a feather or little brush to work it down, and then putting them in a warm place, perhaps in a cool oven or in front of the fire,. and tapping them gently all round, keeping it up for a long time. ‘ Another way is to oil between the bowls- (with a machine-oil-can will do) -and then put them into hot soapy water and leave them there for several days. Did you leave yours in as long as that? I asked the Daisy Chain over the air for more remediés, and one Link suéested using glycerine. Another suggestion was to put verv cold water into the inner bowl, which will meke it contract; but do not put the outer one in hot water, as this cnly expands bot sides of the outer bowl, so gripping the inner one tighter.
