Restoration aims to improve a damaged object aesthetically by re-building and modelling replacement parts for missing areas and disguising break lines and filling materials with paints and ‘false’ restoration glazes to match original surfaces and decoration.
High quality professional china repair and restoration, using materials compatible with the object can achieve an ‘invisible’ result. This procedure should be carried out sympathetically, with care not to over-paint large areas of original decoration. Ethical considerations dictate that restoration products should be reversible without further damaging the object. Therefore restoration glazes are not fired in a kiln and are suitable for decorative items for display purposes only.
