Conservation aims to preserve and stabilise objects from further deterioration. Certain types of ceramics, such as low fired wares and archaeological vessels are more appropriately treated with a conservation ethic in mind and successful results can be achieved on hard paste porcelains and china without the need to restore all signs of damage.
Conservation may enhance the appearance of an object by cleaning, removing unsightly previous repairs and filling chipped or missing areas with an appropriate conservation grade material, but the repair may still be visible on close inspection, as you might experience in a museum environment.
