Crystal Repair Waterford Cake Knife

Waterford Crystal Cake Knife Broken Handle

Waterford cake knife is not a good choice for cutting ice cream cake. The glass did not break the metal handle did. In all the years repairing crystal I think this is a first. I removed what was left of the knife blade from the glass handle and silver soldered it. I put it back on the glass handle and its ready for the next party . Use the old big knife on the DAIRY QUEEN cake .

Very Large Waterford Vase

Chipped Crystal Repair  The “vaaas”  is as good as new and with proper care will stay that way . A good tip to keep water stains from forming inside the vase from hard water is to coat the inside of the vase with Pam spray oil.Then fill with water. After the flowers die pour out the water and use a little soap to clean off the oil. Warm water only never hot.   Definition  vase is under $300.00 and a vaaaas is over $300.00   Life is short  stop and snell the roses.
