Title: Seetuss Glass Bowl
Post by: SandraG129 on June 14, 2017, 08:34:31 PM

I have a beautiful bowl but a little of the gold paint has come off of the back of my Seetusee Bowl from Mayfair Manitoba.  Does anyone know of a great way to fix this or can offer any help?

Welcome :)
I'm not sure if this would help, but something similar to this might do the trick http://www.axminster.co.uk/polyvine-acrylic-enamel-paint-metallic-gold-20ml-952523?gclid=CJPLlvfMx9QCFUmT7Qod_gYEAw
I've used this type of enamel paint for touching up small areas where glaze has been grazed on the Bitossi pottery that I collect.  It might work for glass too. 
Presumably the gold is missing from the actual back of the glass, underneath the "pig-skin" backing?  The odd piece of Seetusee glass that I've had in the past has had a gold finish to the "pig-skin" also.

Hello Sandra    -     assuming this glass item is decorative, and isn't going to receive heavy use, then the more important aspect might be that the replacement gilding matches the colour of the original gold paint  -  perhaps not as easy as might be thought.
I've not the remotest idea what 'Seetuss/Seetusee' glass is  - so would be interested to see this piece if that was possible.           I think you can buy gilding in the form of pen/pencil application too.
