Glass Repair
We do glass repair by grinding, polishing and various surface treatments. It is possible to rejoin some items by hot work but
it is usually done adhesively. Art glass, stemware, cut crystal and stained glass are all repairable. The degree of success
really depends upon the damage and what is expected. It is seldom possible to achieve a perfect restoration!
Cut
crystal's beauty, brilliance and weight belie that it is really very delicate.... A careless bump, a little too much hot water
or even a sudden burst of sunlight on a hot summer's day and cut crystal will break...but it's repairable.
- Stemware repair can easily remove chips, reshape bases and rejoin some stems.
- Crystal repair includes chip removal and repair is always done adhesively.
- We do art glass repair by mending, grinding and polishing.
- Handles can be adhesively reattached.
- Stoppers can be removed, refitted and rescued.
We do stemware repair and can easily remove chips, reshape bases and rejoin some stems. Some hot work can be done but it is
usually not feasible particularly with leaded crystal.
Art glass repair and care requires the greatest of skills and abilities. Some repairs are simple and straight forward.
There are many artistic techniques and skills that have been lost to history.
Stained glass repair and restoration is usually very successful. I can recreate beveled and cut glass pieces, match various
surfaces treatments and do some painting. Matching glass color and texture is usually successful given today's incredible glass selection. If
necessary, searches for an old glass can be done.
This extremely delicate ornament and is one of my favorites.
