Waterford Crystal Repair chipped punch bowl
Sunday, August 29th, 2010 Posted in All Repair Projects, Antique Glass Repair, Chipped Glass Repair, Waterford Crystal Repair | No Comments »A common problem with punch bowl is the ladle hits the inside rim and chips it. I was sent two of the same pattern Waterford Crystal Punch bowls one can from Chicago and the other came from New York. They both had chips on the rim. I polish out the chips and put a little larger bevel on the inside rim this will help prevent new chipping.
I have repaired many punch bowls made by many different manufactures . Waterford bowls have nice thick glass on the top and can be repaired .
Crystal punch bowl do not like hot water I have had to repair many bowl because of washing with hot water. If the bowl has cold punch in it you should pout it out and let the bowl warn up to room temp before washing. Use warn water not hot. Hot water can crack the glass.
After smoothing out the chip I polish the area with pumic. The final polish is with cerium oxide.
All Ready for the punch and a new plastic ladle.

Daum Glass Vase repair chip
Monday, August 23rd, 2010 Posted in All Repair Projects, Antique Glass Repair, Chipped Glass Repair, Crystal Repair Pictures, chipped glassware | No Comments »Daum glass has a satin finish and it makes repairing chips very difficult. This vase came in with a chip on the side of one of the leaves. I polished out the chip to a shine and then had it match the satin finish. The satin finish is coarser than the frosted on a LaLique Crystal .

LaLique Crystal broken Base
This LaLique Crystal piece was sent to me from Florida for restoration. The crystal base had a large chip broken off the corner. The piece that broke off had been lost many years ago so bonding the chip back one was not an option.
By removing the entire base and making a replacement I was able to restore this glass .
The LaLique Rams are ready to go back on diplay.

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010 Posted in All Repair Projects, Antique Glass Repair, Etched Glass, Glueings, broken glassware, glass sculpture repair | No Comments »A beautiful red glass ” FABERGE EGG” with a broken base was sent to me for repair. This piece was made in Russia St. Petersburg as stated on the label. The copper wheel engraving of the double eagle is the main design with a very delicate boarder on the base .
Pieces had broken off the base and were lost.
I use a matching red glass to fabricate a new base . The engraved boarder matched the design of the Faberge Egg. Glass restoration like this is fun. A little creative thinking and for thought the glass egg will go back on display.
