1750 Imperial Chinese VaseView progress: 1 | 2 | 3
  

The many pieces of this wonderful Imperial Chinese Vase in royal blue were reconstructed with Hxtal epoxy. The discerning customer did not want the repair to show in this simple yet elegant glaze and therefore a decorative restoration was undertaken. After reconstruction of the shards, losses and joins were compensated with a fine grade model putty and smoothed to match the original surfaces. Retouching was done with Acryloid B72 thinned with toluene.
