Crystal Repair broken glass figurine
Thursday, January 7th, 2010 Posted in All Repair Projects, Antique Glass Repair, Glueings, glass sculpture repair | No Comments »Broken in three pieces and a failed attemp to glue together with silicone is how it came to me. Crystal repair is a lot harder after you get sililone adhesive all over the pieces and sililone adhesive is the worst to get off. There are no solvents to remove it . All you can do is scrap. The antique glass “China Man” is not a valuable glass figurine but holds a memory.

Swarovski Crystal Elephant broken and missing tusk
The crystal elephant came in broken and missing a tusk. Reattaching the tusk was the first step. Them I made a new glass part for the Swarovski Elephant using the old glass tusk as a guide. Etching the new glass part to match the old was the final step in the glass restoration.

broke glass man
- broken glass lady
- back together again
These glass figurines came to me to be repaired . Most of the pieces were there but I did have to make a hand for the man. Glass restoration like this is fun because the change is dramatic. Venetian Glass Figurines can be restored to look like new.
