Broken and cracked glass can generally not be re-melted and mended. However it can sometimes be glued. If this is not possible, replacement is sometimes an option. I have the ability to remake many things and might be able to reproduce your piece.
Sometimes a crack can be stopped from spreading by grinding at the right spot and gluing the crack. Instead of total replacement, the standard way to fix completely broken glass is to glue it back together. I use NASA grade Hextal glue and high quality silicone to fix glass.
Additionally, I can grind and polish edge chips and surface scratches.
Please call to discuss your glass, ceramic or art work problem and terms for its repair.

Client had nine broken cages for a chandelier.
Client called in a panic. He had just broken his wife's ashtray. It was the only thing she had of her fathers'. I took the pieces and made this beautiful object and etched the fathers name on the piece. Needless to say, he was forgiven.
Broken Vase
Original vase was ceramic. I had to chip out all of the pieces from the metal using chisels and fordom. A glass shape was made and then clued into the metal to reproduce the same shape and vase.
