[QUOTE="ascot, post: 388098, member: 96"]I've had this really pretty vase for years. I'm fairly sure it's late 19th century Baccarat. 8" tall with a top spread of 6 3/8". As you can see, there are 2 chips on the rim: one is about an inch long and the other deeper one is just over 1/4". My questions are Can the chips be repaired? Ordinarily, I wouldn't spend the money for a repair, but this piece may be worth it. Should I send it off and have it cut/ground down? Is that a better option than repair? Should I just leave it as is? I have no intention of selling it, but I'm old and know my children will have to deal with all my stuff, so I'd like for them to get the most money if and when they sell. Thanks for your advice and opinions!
