Celtic Cross Restoration & New Shamrock August 2013

A client who lives in Ottawa purchased this Celtic Cross in Ireland a few years ago. Unfortunately it fell and broke the bottom piece of the cross. The broken glass was a Ruby Red Spectrum Waterglass which we could match.

This was a very sentimental stained glass piece, which we were able to restore. The first picture shows the broken glass.

The next picture shows the cross after being totally taken apart, cleaned with burnished black back foil applied and ready for soldering.

In addition our client wanted a larger shamrock made using Wissmach Emerald Isle glass and the following picture shows it all foiled and ready for soldering.

This last picture shows the completed Shamrock and Restored Celtic Cross. Black patina was used and then a stained glass polish was applied. Then both of these items were shipped to Ottawa Ontario and arrived safe and sound.
