antique glass figurine repair
Sunday, January 10th, 2010 Posted in All Repair Projects, Antique Glass Repair, Glueings | No Comments »Antique glass repair is made a lot harder when like this piece because they tried to glue it them selves. They used a silicone glue and there are no known solvents for it . It took a lot of rubbing and scraping to remove the silicone. Then we were able to repair it.

glass clown repair
Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009 Posted in All Repair Projects, Antique Glass Repair, Crystal Repair Pictures | No Comments »A Venitian Glass Clown with one broken hand and one missing hand was sent from Dallas Texas for repair. First I cut off the small pieces left from the hand and ground it smooth. Then I made a new glass hand . It looks like a micky mouse hand. Its a white glove with only four fingers. They have been making glass clowns in Venice Italy for at least eighty years. I have made Bo Ties , Balloons, Hats, Shoes, and every thing else for repairing them.
This is the new hand I made.
Glass restoration complete, back on the shelf so the grand kids don”t get to it.

I can repair the foot or make a new one. The cutomer wants the foot repaired first and if that doesn’t look good I will replace her foot and her mates.

Crystal Repair Lalique Horse Head
Tuesday, April 14th, 2009 Posted in All Repair Projects, LaLique Crystal Repair, glass sculpture repair | No Comments »This large glass sculpture was damaged when an earth quake knocked prisms off of a chandelier onto the sculpture below. This very large, very expensive, LaLique Crystal Horse Head sustained many small chips from each of the falling prisms. Crystal repair on such a heavy piece of glass over such a large area can be tricky, but the sculpture’s appearance, and it’s value were completely restored.
More than thirty chips had to be removed from this very expensive LaLique Crystal Sculpture.
