Thursday, December 31st, 2009 Posted in All Repair Projects, Antique lamp repair, Broken Stem, Crystal Repair Pictures, Glass Globe, Glueings, Waterford Crystal, Waterford Crystal Repair | Comments Off on Crystal Repair Waterford LampOff the table on to the floor the lamp went with a crash. ” Don’t worry I know a place that does crystal repair. Who Bruening Glass Works can repair crystal.” Mom was still crying about her lamp but when she called I told her I can repair it.
I cut off the broken base and went looking for a new base in my parts department. The shade for a hurrican lamp was the right size and shape.

Crystal Repair antique cut glass epergne
Wednesday, December 30th, 2009 Posted in All Repair Projects, Antique Glass Repair, Broken glassware, Chipped Glass Repair, Chipped Glassware, Glueings | Comments Off on Crystal Repair antique cut glass epergneThe antique cut crystal piece was broken and apiece was missing. I knew I would have to make a new pedal. Antique glass comes in many colors even the clear “crystal” glass. I found in my parts department a piece of antique glass the right color and shape for this repair. I ground and polished the new pedal. Crystal repair is challenging. With the replace pedal finished I beveled the side of the bowl so I would get a good bond. Then cut in the thumb prints design. Being able to grind and polish a piece of glass that been bonded together speaks well of the strength of the adhesive. This repair job came from Pittsburgh Pa. from a very nice lady. Who I quote ” it’s not a bad drive two hours tops a little shopping lunch and were on our way home. Many customers are surprised what kind of damaged crystal can be restored. Most clients after using my services say I didn’t know that could be repaired. I threw away a lot of glass that could have been repaired. I wish I knew about you.

Antique Glass Epergne Repair
Friday, December 18th, 2009 Posted in All Repair Projects, Antique Glass Repair, Broken glassware, Broken Stem, Glueings | Comments Off on Antique Glass Epergne RepairBroken into many pieces the antique glass came in for repair. It has been in the family along time and met so much could I repair it. I told them it would not be perfect but I would do my best . The first thing I needed to do was give it a bath. Then I dill out the broken fitter ( stopper ) out of the bottom. Then came the fitting of the pieces to see what was missing.
It was a shame that an antique glass piece the of this quality got broken and needed repair.
If you look close you can see the cracks . It will take just a little creative decoration and it can be displayed for all to enjoy. Antique crystal with the copper wheel engraving the quality of this piece are rare. Broken crystal after restoration doesn’t all ways come out flawless but you do have to look close to see the repair. Send in the flowers.

This antique glass plate had a lot of scratches on the top from stacking other plates on it and even more scratches on the bottom from sliding the plate . The logo from Heisey was not visable with the scratches. The Heisey signature is located on the botton of the plate in the center . Antique glass repair makes this plate as good as new and ready for a new home.
With a polished bottom and a new look this antique Heisey Crystal plate is ready to be recycled or regifted . There are enough things in the world be green and restore an antique and regift it.
