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 .

Repairing antique glass punch bowls and other pressed glass pieces doesn’t return the value but it makes grama happy.

Swarovski Crystal Repair

Swarovski makes very fine crystal and over the years I could fill a zoo with  Swarovski Glass Animals I have repaired. I recently restored a pair of Swarovski Crystal Birds. Swarovski crystal repairs are generaly simple reglues.

I  also made a custom, wall hung, bent glass display case just for a collection of Swarovski Crystal Animals with mirrored shelves and custom low voltage lighting. The small Swarovski crystal prisms are glued together to create all kinds of shapes.It’s not uncommon for the glue to fail so don’t blame the kids if you find a three-leged dog.

Antique Glass Chandelier Broken Crystal Arms

The movers broke several antique crystal arms on this Chandelier .The Chandelier was very dirty and rusty . The pins through the prisms had gotten wet and rusted. Repairing antique glass arms was the easy part.Cleaning and rewiring was the time consuming  part. I used white cloth covered wire per original . The clear plastic wire is less noticable but I like to keep  as authentic as possible .  Two of the strands of prisms were missing  I got lucky and had old ones in stock. I disassembled ,cleaned the glass and polished  the chrome pieces. When moving antique glass chandeliers they should be taken apart to relocate. We installed the restored chandelier in the dinning room .

Crystal Repair Orrefos Candlestick

If you forget to put out the candle it will burn down and crack the candle cup. Repairing crystal candlesticks is a challenge.  The easy way is to make a new candle cup if all I could do is grind the old one down there wouldn’t be much glass left to hold the candle . Crystal repair on candlesticks can be avoided by drill a small hole up through the bottom of the candle removing the wick.  The candle will go out before it can crack the candle cup.
