I will get pictures of the chandelier when its complete and post them .  The crystal arms were sent to me for repair from Oregon. The piece has been in the family a long time.

antique glass repair millefiori bowl

The term millefiori is a combination of the Italian words “mille” (thousand) and “fiori” (flowers)^[1]. A. Pellatt (in his book “Curiosities of Glass Making”) was the first to use the term “millefiori”, which appeared in the Oxford Dictionary in 1849. The beads were called mosaic beads before that time. While the use of this technique long precedes the term millefiori, it is now frequently associated with Venetian glassware.

Cut Glass Compote Repair

The antique crystal compote was broken the foot and the bottom of the bowl. There were cracks on the bottom of the bowl were the foot had been attached.  I had to drill out the cracks to prevent them from cracking any further.  The bowl portion of the compote needed a new bottom so I could attach a new foot.
