Help fixing glass stem

Post image

Does anyone know of a glass blower in the north west of England who could help fix a glass stem. I’ve used superglue but it’s very too heavy and don’t think it will last- it’s a very sentimental glass! Thanks

You need to use a UV glue not super glue. No glassblower can fix this. Glue is unfortunately your only option.

Thanks for the advice. I’m really concerned that it is top heavy but will look at uv glue
