Hey JTD, what one antique dealer told me is that the red glass is known as "ruby red" glass, which is in and of itself highly collectable. The value is intrinsic; in order for the gold trim to stick, there is actually gold IN the glass. So I'm guessing that if the gold is off, it's off, but maybe a gilder (?) could gild it back on? But that's probably some bucks. All I can offer. |
