Thanks much for this. I had no idea it was clay. so, in terms of practicalities (and sorry for the ”tell it like telling it to a child” thing), do I just spray distilled water on the silver colored grill without opening anything? And maybe drying the excess off the brass frame etc. before putting it back to the inner lid? thanks again!

Hi everybody, I am relatively new to the humidor business, and I actually posted the same question yesterday, but can't find my topic (also new to the forum). So I apologise for any caccophony. I just putmrchased a vintage Dunhill humidor which has a rectangle, brass framed humidifier with a grill of round holes on both sides. It looks there's a white layer of something under the grill (inside) but I can't guess what's the material. my question, after tiring you with reading so far, how do I charge that humidifier so that I can start using the humidor? Thanks in advance! okan
