Replacement Glass Globe frosted glass globe with missing piece

Sunday, June 28th, 2020 Posted in Bent Glass, Chandelier Repair, Etched Glass, Glass Globe | Comments Off on Replacement Glass Globe frosted glass globe with missing piece

The frosted glass globe was bumped and broken. A large piece of glass  broke off and was lost. I received the broken glass globe as a pattern to make the replacement globe. I filled in were the piece was missing so I could cast a mold.

The glass was frosted and drill after it was bent. It is a lot easier to make the mold if you have all the pieces.

Changing the light bulb was traumatic for the antique glass shade.   It fell and the majority of the panels were broken.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Most of the top pieces were broken and some of the bottom pieces.   The top pieces were the most difficult to fit.

The broken globe was sent from Arizona .

Crystal Repair Waterford Lamp

Off the table on to the floor the lamp went with a crash. ” Don’t worry I know a place that does crystal repair. Who  Bruening Glass Works can repair crystal.” Mom was still crying about her lamp but when she called I told her I can repair it.

I cut off the broken base and went looking for a new base in my parts department. The shade for a hurrican lamp was the right size and shape.

Antique Glass Lamp Repair

Repairs on reverse painted glass lamps come out very nice. This antique Pairpoint glass shade goes to a floor lamp. It came to me with pieces broken out and two cracks.  Antique glass repair takes patients and creativity . This lamp was repaired and is back at work.
