Saturday, January 9th, 2010 Posted in All Repair Projects, Antique Glass Repair, Crystal Repair Pictures, chipped glassware | No Comments »American brilliant cut glass punch bowl and pedistal with minor chips on the saw tooth was sent to me for repair.

The bowl and pedistal are not conected. There were chips on the pedistal.
