Crystal and Glass
Glass and crystal items are wonderful pieces to have - they glisten in the light and can make for wonderful conversation starters. As these delicate pieces are moved, cleaned and used throughout the year, some damage is bound to occur.The primary way glass and crystal objects are damaged is through accidentally cracking and breaking. Of course, you didn't mean to drop your great grandmother's goblet, but things like that do happen. When they do, it's nice to know there are people to help.
A dab of glue might do, but repairs should be completed by professionals.
- Store-bought adhesives yellow, peel and become unsightly.
- Consecutively applying various types of adhesive can cause further damage.
Damage to cut glass and crystal can be especially frustrating when the piece is part of a set. The conservators at Wiebold will grind chips out of glasses and goblets, or secure broken and chipped pieces.
Please contact us with any questions regarding your specific piece.

for caring for your glass and crystal.
Suggestions for Helping You Preserve Your Crystal and Glass
- When moving crystal and glass items, always carry one piece at a time. It is best to place your hands around the body of the object rather than using an existing handle, rim, or spout for support.
- Be sure you have a level space of adequate size available to place the object, and a clear path to move, before removing the piece from its original location.
- Carry objects from room to room or up and down stairs in a padded basket or box rather than in your hands.
- Use soft padding to prevent your glass objects from clinking against each other.
- Your item cracks.
- Stemware needs to be repaired.
- Parts are missing or broken in pieces.
- Your item has been self-repaired in the past.
