Steuben Crystal Vase Repair Sick Glass Cloudy Scratched

Steuben Crystal Vase Repair Sick Glass Cloudy Scratched

May 5th, 2010 by Marc Konys - posted in All Repair Projects, Sick Glass, Steuben Crystal Repair

This Steuben crystal vase was sent to me for cleaning.  I thought it was sick. ( cloudy from hard water stains) It was not sick it was scratched someone tried to clean it with an abrasive. They made it a lot worse by putting in thousands of scratches up and down in side the vase. I was able to carefully polish them out . Steuben Crystal has one of the highest lead content this is why the glass is clear.

I polished out the scratches on the inside  of the vase and then I polish out the scratches  on the bottom of the vase .

    Hi Marc!

    Can you advise what type of product/tools you used to polish out the scratches?
    Many thanks,
    MG
