Restoring and repairing pottery and porcelain

 

Caring for a treasured collection is a concern of any collector, but no matter how well you care for your pottery or porcelain collection, accidents can happen.  You can buy adhesives with which to do your own repairing of broken or damaged pieces.  As long as you follow the instructions carefully and the pieces concerned do not have significant monetary or sentimental value it is fine to do your own repairs.  For valuable pieces, it is really best to find a professional restoration expert.  The value of a piece will already have been diminished by damage; inexpert restoration will do little, if anything, to improve the situation.  The value of a damaged item can never be restored to that of a perfect item, but expert attention should ensure the best result in the circumstances.  If you Google ‘pottery and porcelain repair’ or ‘pottery and porcelain restoration’ it will bring up a substantial list for you to choose from.  Here is a selection to get you stated:
