Crystal Repair Antique Cut Glass Dishes by Fry

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010 Posted in All Repair Projects, Chipped Glass Repair, chipped glassware | No Comments »

The H. C. Fry Glass company made beautiful cut glass . Henry Fry had the biggest and one of the best cutting rooms of the day . The factory was built in 1901 . The three plates pictured here came for that cutting room in Rochester Penna. They were chipped and needed minor repairs. Crystal repair on the best of the best is a very rewarding.

The saw tooth design is very easy to chip. I used small grinding stones that came from the Hawkes Glass Company in Corning NY to grind out the chips.

Then with cork , horse hair and felt wheels I polished the cystal back to a brilliant shine.

antique glass repair chip bottle

The art deco perfume bottle had very large chips on the sides and front. The antique glass repair restored the look and the value. The antique glass is very thick and because of that I was able to grind and polish with out making a hole or changing the look.

crystal repair steuben bottle stopper

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010 Posted in All Repair Projects, Antique Glass Repair, Broken Decanter Repair, Stopper Repair, chipped glassware | No Comments »

Its a small little chip on the bottom of the stopper. Steuben makes the finest crystal in the world but they made colored glass many years ago. This is one of the old “ colored glass” Steuben pieces. They are very valuable so a small chip is well worth repairing. The repair is simple just grind the stopper down . The important part is to match the same grit size so the frosting on the glass is the right . I have been a crystal repair man for thirty years and I love glass. I get crystal sent to me from around the world and I very lucky to be able to repair so many nice pieces of glass.

Crystal vase repair broken off foot

Thursday, December 31st, 2009 Posted in All Repair Projects, Broken Stem, Glueings, broken glassware | No Comments »

This very large crystal vase was sent to me for repair. If I had bonded the two pieces together you would be able to see the repair. I decided the best way to repair this crystal vase was to cut off the bottom and reattached it to the foot. This crystal vase was originally bonded to the foot. The repair will make bond between the crystal vase and glass foot even stronger and less likely to break again.
