Glass Decanter Neck Repair
« on: October 16, 2007, 10:27:51 AM »
I am trying to find a company who could repair a damaged glass decanter.
I have put some photos of the damaged decanter on a website at http://www.echoandbounce.co.uk/decanter/decanter.html

If you click on any of the photos you will see a larger version.

I would be extremely grateful if anyone could let me know if they know of a company in the UK that could repair this. The item is a family heirloom

They do... http://www.wilkinson-plc.com/glass.htm

They are, or were, the only ones I know that can replace the missing bits using special resins, or remake parts.

I had a claret jug lip reground by Facets (details in the Great Glass list above) and was pleased by the result.
When I went to pick it up, they had a Daum lighting fitment waiting for packing that they had completely remade from shards, and whilst some cracks were still visible, the majority were completely invisible. 

Thank you very much!
