My buddy that cleans out houses just brought over a really nice [View all]

5 gallon crock with a cobalt blue flower on it, no cracks and a few very small chips. Problem is it looks as if it was in a house fire. Started out almost black. Been soaking in vinegar and hot water. A lot better but still looks stained.

Any suggestions?

Looks like about $80 as is, but could go up to over $300 in great shape. Been scrubbing with a brush and fine steel wool and kind of hit a wall with not much improvement yet.
