GLASS AND CRYSTAL

Hamlin’s Restoration does not use grinding techniques and therefore does not remove chips from the rims of standard stemware. However, if the item is broken or has a missing segment, we can repair it. Murano and other decorative glassware and crystal can be repaired and missing areas filled and hand-polished. Keep in mind that most crystal cannot be invisibly restored due to the transparency of the material. However, we have had the pleasure of restoring a gallery-owned piece of Chihuly artglass with totally invisible results.

 

Crystal and silver decanter broken in approximately 40 pieces

Reassembled and missing areas filled.

Because crystal is transparent, totally invisible repairs are not possible.
