How to antique

I soaked it in vinegar, then soaked it in a baking soda mix with water to dilute the vinegar. Then shined er up with some steel wool.
 
Got it. Looks nice.

My suggestion to use a vinegar wetted towel was a way to "partially remove" the high spots of the blue and to "grey out what is not totally removed" in slightly lower spots while leaving the "lowest" spots still blue.

Generally it results in the correct finish with no other refinishing efforts required.

Let's see it after you add some brown back!
