Vessels made of metals lose their luster primarily due to oxidation and tarnishing. When exposed to air and moisture, metals react with oxygen and other environmental elements, forming oxides or sulfides that dull their surface. Additionally, exposure to pollutants and chemicals can accelerate this process. Regular cleaning and polishing can help maintain their shine and protect against these effects.

Why do vessels made of metals lose shine after few days?

Most metals lose their shine as they react with gases in the atmosphere or in a liquid.. The surface layer may react to fom an oxide, hydrated oxides, sulfide, sulfates, carbonates. Generally ths process makes the surface dull and it may get pitted. The process is called corrosion when it is iron rusting and tarnishing when it is silver forming black silver sulfide or copper forming a mixture of greenish products, "patina" whose composition depends on the location.Some metals do not lose their shine. Common examples are gold and platinum which are used as jewellery. Aluminium still looks shiny but there is thin layer of aluminium oxide which prevents the reactive aluminium metal from corroding.
