Daum Nancy glass figurine repair chipped and missing ear restoration

Daum Nancy glass figurine repair chipped and missing ear restoration

April 27th, 2011 by Marc Konys - posted in All Repair Projects, Antique Glass Repair, Blowen Glass Replacements, Broken glassware, Chipped Glass Repair, Figurine, Glass Sculpture Repair, Glueings, Zoo

The ear was broken off and lost from a very expensive DAUM Nancy glass figurine.  I had to sculpt part of a new ear to fit on the dark amber Daum Glass horse .  Matching the very dark amber color was my first challenge . I made a dozen or more glass ears be for finding one I liked .    Daum glass  started with the notary Jean Daum      Daum  started making glass for watches and mirrors.            (1825-1885).
