I have collected Steuben Glass for 50 years. Occasionally chips and deep scratches occur. One of the most valuable of my pieces suffered a major chip at the corner. It is one of a pair, so the chip really affected both pieces. I could not see how this damage could be repaired. I searched the Web for Steuben repair and found Michael Bokrosh's studio. Our conversation gave me great confidence that he would find a solution.He told me exactly how to pack the piece. A few weeks later Michael called to describe his solution, which I didn't completely understand until another few weeks, when the piece arrived. It's hard to describe what he did without a photo, but I was amazed and actually thrilled. He created matching angles that not only removed the chip, but improved the design. Without comparing it to its twin, not even a specialist could tell that it had been repaired. It looks great when placed next to its twin. Michael's work is equal to Steuben's own design and execution. His Studio probably looks a little like Steuben's. I am examining each piece in my collection to find any imperfection, any at all, to send to Michael to make as good as new. One can engage and trust Michael to erase most any flaw in a piece of crystal. He must have spent at least two days on my project. His charge was entirely reasonable. This is my first posting to thank and commend any artist or indeed any person who has done work for me. Thank you for reading this testimonial.

Michael has previously repaired pieces of Steuben glass for me including rare exhibition pieces. On this occasion he flawlessly restored an abstract depiction of yacht sails to their original condition. I would highly recommend him for his honest appraislals of the feasibility of repair, expertise in the process and logistics of transport for fragile items.

Mr. Bokrosh did an amazing job repairing a Murano glass sculpture that was damaged in shipping. I spent weeks contacting fine art restoration services, and all other places said they did not have the ability to restore the work. What’s more, Mr. Bokrosh went above and beyond in helping deal with the shipping company, which was being very difficult regarding paying out on the damage claim.

Michael helped me decide if I should purchase a slightly damaged Murano to have it fixed. He was considerate & saved me a lot of money and regret. I'm keeping his info!

Michael just repaired a piece that my wife and I purchased in Venice. It is one of a kind and was in bad shape given that we dropped it. Michael was referred to us and we decided to send the sculpture to him. We just received it back and it absolutely looks fantastic. I called him yesterday to say many thanks and we really appreciate the commitment that it took to repair it. We highly recommend him and we were very fortunate to find someone as talented as Michael Bokrosh.

11/10/23During a move , my grandmother's American Brilliant Cut Glass dish was broken. Given that the dish is over 100 years old, I had little hope of finding someone who could repair it. Fortunately, I found Michael Bokrosh of Bokrosh Studio to do the repair. From the start, Michael recognized and respected the quality, age, and craftmanship of the piece. He clearly explained what he would do and what to expect after the repair. Michael did a beautiful job repairing and restoring my dish - I am so pleased. Thank-you so much.Sarah Ries

I had some Morano glass work that have been damaged badly. I had Michael examine them. He was very upfront about it and gave me all the information I needed to make the right decision. I highly recommend Micheal.

My husband and I had a meeting with Michael to see if he could repair a chandelier. He was very honest, professional and transparent on what he could do to help us. After some discussion, he also showed us some different options we could take. I highly recommend him.

I contacted Michael about a piece of furniture that we had that was made of glass and needed repair. It was not a service that he offered but he helped me find resources got back to me immediately and was super responsive. He clearly knows what he’s talking about and I appreciate what he did, in taking the time and helping me out

Micheal did an amazing job repairing a very difficult break, multiple pieces broken, from the crest of a Murano glass cockatoo bird. We didn't think it could be repaired but Michael proved us wrong, and we're glad he did!!

Michael was very helpful when inquiring about an expensive piece of glass that was broken. He gave insightful suggestions and advice on next steps. He was also very responsive. Less than 24 hours after the glass was broken we had spoken on the phone and via email and had come up with multiple "next-steps."

I had a very old Murano candlestick holder from my grandparents which I dropped and totally shattered the base. Bokrosh found a Murano glass piece with a similar bottom, removed it, and melted it to the bottom. He even went an extra mile and painted a very thin blue line on the edge. It is gorgeous! He's a miracle worker!
