Crystal Repair Sent from Chicago, Illinois – Stopper Repair

Bottle with new stopper

In this before and after scenario, our client had reached out from Chicago, Illinois seeking to repair this treasured piece. A question we often get is “can it even be repaired?” In this case, we weren’t able to salvage the stopper that had come with the bottle. When it came down to it, the broken stopper wasn’t worth fixing.

The good news is that we have the ability to replicate new pieces in our workshop. I made a new stopper using the old broken stopper for a pattern. Complete with the ball on the end.
