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.

Fifteen year this antique crystal chandelier has been in a box in storage. Only two of the antique glass arms were not broken . Many of the boboches were broken also. Dirty, rusty and in need of new wiring . The restotation of this antique glass chandelier has started with the  dismanteling and cleaning.  The glue that someone used has turned white over the years and must be soaked and removed. I will post my progress in days to come.
