Not sure if this is the right place but I'm relying on the wealth of knowledge here GS-netters!
I inherited a glass bowl from my mum when she passed. I seem to recall it may have been a wedding present when my parent's married in 1946 but I can't verify this.
It isn't worth anything as it had three glass legs but two are chipped so I use it a a fruit bowl.
I wash it occasionally and the other day the silver trim came off in the water. I don't think this is solid silver because it has never tarnished.
The cement/glue inside was flaking away and I realised it needed removing before re-sticking.
I'm just wondering what sortof glue I should use to put it back, and also how to best get rid of the remaining glue- which I suspect may have been there for eighty years!
Hoping someone can give me some good advice!

My first thought was also the repair shop 
. Try locktite glass glue. A Google search says a good soaking of vinegar or WD40 removes old glue and probably with a bit of old fashioned elbow grease.
