It happens time and time again that is chipping your Waterford vase while washing it in the sink. That is what happen to this beautiful Waterford Vase . A very large chip on the rim of the vase needed to be ground off and polish . I will show you pictures of the vase during the process. First a picture of how it looked when it came to me.

The first step is to grind the chip smooth using a coarse grit sand paper.

The Waterford crystal cut glass dish had a large chip in the lid . The chip was ground out and polished but then it didn’t fit. The top was to large so it would slide around when you placed it on topof the dish. So I made a new inside lip by cutting a piece of crystal and grinding it fit like a very thin stopper.
This was a difficult repair and I didn’t know how I was going to do it when I started.

The Waterford lamp fell on the floor and broke the base off. I cut off the broken part and ground the bottom of the lamp flat. Then I started looking for a new base. The size ,shape and pattern were important .

With pieces parts from a broken hurrican lamp and a broken ships decanter I made a crystal lamp. Sorry I did not have the crystal globe to put on it . They didn’t send it along with the other pieces it must not have got damaged.

It takes a little bit of design but from this will come a new Waterford Crystal Lamp. After cutting off the broken neck of the decanter and smoothing the top I drilled a hole for the wire to come out.
