The ear was broken off and lost from a very expensive DAUM Nancy glass figurine. I had to sculpt part of a new ear to fit on the dark amber Daum Glass horse . Matching the very dark amber color was my first challenge . I made a dozen or more glass ears be for finding one I liked . Daum glass started with the notary Jean Daum Daum started making glass for watches and mirrors. (1825-1885).

Crystal sail sculpture repair

This crystal sculpture was broken off its base and a large chip was missing. By reshaping the base and the glass sail this piece is as good as new. Many steps are involved in this type of restoration.
