Glass Dome for clock with crack

Friday, May 1st, 2009 Posted in All Repair Projects, Antique Glass Repair, Clock Glass, Glass Globe, Glueings | Comments Off on Glass Dome for clock with crack

An antique, glass, clock dome was brought to me because of a large crack. The crack will still be visible once it’s repaired, but the dome will be stable. I learned a long time ago from my old scientific glass blowing teacher how to control a crack. Now I can easily make cracks go wherever I choose.  In this case, I was able to make the crack turn to the bottom of the dome. If left alone, the crack would have continued going up, and around, and eventually it would have ruined the dome. Now the crack is no longer a threat, and it can be easily hidden behind the clock. I am currently developing a new way of making glass domes like this one. In the future, I plan to offer replacement domes for customers with this type of damage.

Crystal Repair cut glass lamp repair

This lead glass lamp sat on the night stand for decades before it was accidentally broken into pieces. The cut glass pattern on this crystal lamp help hide the glass restoration. There were some minor pieces missing, but we were able to discretely fill those areas. Crystal repair has greatly improved with the new generation of ultra violet cured adhesives that don’t yellow, and are to provide a permanent fix.

I was told this is from a  fire engine . Its is made of flashed red glass and has a beveled edge and a number six engraved on it. Flash glass is made by layering two colored glasses together in this case red and clear. I have restored many carriage lamps over the years I wish I had photographed them now. I also make globes for oil lamp like on the railroad.

Antique Glass Globe Repair

Saturday, November 8th, 2008 Posted in All Repair Projects, Blowen Glass Replacements, Chandelier Repair, Crystal Repair Pictures, Glass Globe | Comments Off on Antique Glass Globe Repair

We were able to restore an old sconce by making a replacement shade for it. This was one of twenty matching lights in a very old home. The painter had broken an antique etched glass globe during the remodeling. Cut glass lamp repair is one of many things I have done over the years. I like the dirty,rusty, broken chandelier restorations the best. Missing parts and broken glass is no problem for our team.
