Dear all,
I ahve a silly question. Can glass be restored? In particular, in case of chipped rim, if the bottle is very valuable, can it be restored?
Kind regards
Giovanni

Dear Giovanni,

The best person to answer your question is Vaughan (Mandarin). He can even tell you how to restore a chipped windscreen!

Best regards,
Tom

Dear Giovanni,
    When you say 'restored' do you mean 'to look pristine'? I would say no, but Vaughan's answer might be different. But it could be restored tastefully I believe.
Best,
Joey
