Depession Glass Repair

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009 Posted in All Repair Projects, Broken glassware, Chipped Glass Repair, Glueings | Comments Off on Depession Glass Repair

Depession glass bowl  with two large pieces broken off and some smaller pieces missing  first I glued the broken pieces back in and the ground and polished what was left.  Pressed glass is sentimental because it was not expensive so every one had some. Grama then left it to the kids. I have little red shot glasses with handles that I got from my grama. 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.

crystal repair broken water glass

Antique glass with a broken bottom not a typical repair.  A replace ment glass is not an option . Please can you fix it ?   I can fix it  just put on a new bottom.  Glassware repair you think of chips on the rim or foot  not a new bottom of a water glass.

When you do crystal repair, you have to make new pieces. This candle stick was broken many years ago and the broken piece was lost. I created a new cup cut and glued the new piece in. It saved alot of memories for the customer!
