Perfume Bottles Stopper

Q:My mother has a collection of antique perfume bottles. Some have broken glass stoppers. Can we glue the pieces back together? Will the bottles retain any value if they have been glued?

A:The broken stopper lowers the value of the bottle whether it is repaired or not. Gluing the broken piece back will help keep the stopper in place, so it’s a good idea. If you’re lucky, you might find a replacement for the broken stopper.
