There is a protective coating on the bowls that I can't remove to polish the bowls. How do I remove the coating so that I can polish them?

Try using a product called never-dull Hardware stores in your area should carry it.

You can heat it, the varnish will burn, but be careful not to breathe the fumes. After that dip your bowl in a solution of hot vinegar and salt (1 cup vinegar for 1 spoon of salt) to remove the oxydation. Then polish.

For less than $1.00 grab bottle of ketchup and wipe or soak in ketchup whatever works best depending on size. Leave on for 24 hours and then scrub and bluff your copper.

Have a really old house. The brass fittings for doors, etc. had some top finish worn off and some finish left. I used furniture stripper, washed well, polished, and then used Clear Coat spray (auto section of hardware stores) - never have to polish again. Try a small spot first as a precaution.
