In former times the base was made to a manufactured glassdome. Nowadays whe have to work vice versus. In some cases it wouldn`t be possible to replace the dome exactly, primarly if your broken dome ist quite unregularly. In this case it would be better to make a new dome and a new base..
Please ask for a quote. For a quotation we need the messurements of the dome or a drawing of the groove in the plinth together with the height of the dome.

manufacturing a glass dome
a short insight
three glassblowers are working at one furnace to manufacture a
glass dome
the mouldmaker
before manufacturing a dome we need to make a mould.
This would be done by the mouldmaker.
the mould is ready. This is the beginning of the hot job of glass making. The glass blower takes the hot
glass out of the furnace and will bring it in a rough form
... then he blows the hot glass in the mould to make round, oval or rectangular glass domes...
... after cooling down of the domes from approx. 600° C to room temperature
the domes are almost ready. They had to be cut then they can be used by
artist, collectors and much more people.
