Perfume Bottle Repair
Saturday, February 28th, 2009 Posted in All Repair Projects, Blowen Glass Replacements, Chipped Glass Repair, Chipped Glassware, Glueings, Stopper Repair | Comments Off on Perfume Bottle Repair
This antique glass perfume bottle had a broken neck . I cut off the old broken glass neck and polished the bottle . Then I make a new glass neck for the perfume bottle. The antique crystal perfume bottle was as good as new. I make new stoppers and daubers for antique glass perfume bottles but making a neck is a little different. If they had sent it to me in the first place they would not have broken the neck trying to get the stopper out. It takes patients when removing a stuck stopper.

crystal repair antique candlestick
Saturday, February 28th, 2009 Posted in All Repair Projects, Blowen Glass Replacements, Broken glassware, Crystal Candlestick repair, Glueings | Comments Off on crystal repair antique candlestickBroken crystal candlestick needs restoration. This has two broken candle cups caused by letting the candle burn down to low and the heat from the flame breaks the glass. First I ground off what was left of the broken candle cups and polished it flat. Then I made two new candle holders and attached them . Antique glass repair is a big part of my buisness. I like fixing things that other glass shop said can’t be fixed. This customer was told it was irreparable. This was broken not chipped so a shop that can only grind and polish is unable to restore a pressed glass candlestick such as this.

Had my first shot of whiskey grama gave me at sixteen . It was awfull then and still is. Repairing depression glass or pressed glass is not cost effective but you have to save it.
