We have a chip in the rim of a crystal glass. I have tried emery to smooth
it - but really it needs the whole of the rim grinding down by about 2 mm.
Should this be possible? Will it be satisfactory as it seems tha the rim is
moulded rather than cut?

Any advice on sourcing a repair if advised?

When I was at university, we had a bloke in the basement who made all
the special glass apparatus, discharge lamps, etc required for the
physics experiments. Every few years, he did a public demo showing how
different things were made, and that was something not to be missed -
he was amazing. I got to make a small discharge tube in the glass
workshop.

Apparently, a few members of staff regularly brought in wine glasses
to have chips taken out. He did it, but commented on the poor quality
of the glasses and that if they were good quality, they wouldn't chip
so easily.
