CRYSTAL DECANTER REPAIR CHIPPED AND BROKEN NECK
May 22nd, 2013 by Marc Konys - posted in All Repair Projects, Antique Glass Repair, Broken Decanter Repair, Stopper RepairThe antique decanter had a large chip and a crack running down and across the neck. Over the years the large chip that can off was lost. The crystal decanter was also cloudy on the inside from decades of use. The stopper was missing also. The fist challenge was to stop the crack from traveling any farther.

I have two vases that have been through a house fire and are shattered. They date from 1900?, were a translucent pale blue with enamel floral and gold. I contacted you a month ago and wrapped vases in masking tape as suggested . May I hope they can be repaired? Where should I send them. Or should we bring them to you?
