wine glass repair broken crystal stemware

The  wine glass has a metal stem but the crystal bowl was broken and needed to be replaced.  The top of the wine glass is held in by an adhesive.  I used a diamond drill bit to drill out the broken stem out of the meal stem.

crystal repair broken cut glass punch bowl

Crystal punch bowls are very easy to break.  The most common way is when  the party is over you pour out the left over punch and put hot water in the bowl to wash it out.  Old thick brilliant cut glass can not take temperature change.  The thicker the glass the more vulnerable to cracking from heat.  This beautiful cut glass punch bowl fell victim to hot water in the sink.

I can repair this bowl and it will be usable .  The cut pattern hides the repair and makes it very hard to detect .
