is a ceramic restoration studio in Upstate NY State offering professional repair, restoration and conservation of antique pottery based on a Conservationist approach, taught in the English School of repair, in the improvement of various mediums from Flow Blue stoneware to marble to porcelain. We are dedicated to the improvement of the projects provided to us to customer specifications and customer satisfaction be it cleaning or a Museum Repair, to full Invisible Restoration.
We use both Chemical and Biological modalities for cleaning depending on the character of the piece in question and well as a various means of color application and finishes. We do not re-fire pieces during restoration but rather matte, semi-gloss and high-gloss glazes are all replicated without firing, and are harder, non-yellowing and more glass-like today than ever before. These are available from Cleaning to Museum Finish to Full Invisible Restoration and all areas between depending on the customer needs, desire and value of the piece. A Conservationist approach maintains that items are to be repaired without causing further damage by drilling, chiping or grinding. Ceramic Restoration and ceramic or pottery repair should not cause harm to the peice being repaired.
ESTIMATES: There is a $20.00 fee for estimates be it looking personally at your piece you have sent to us or the evaluation from high definition pictures through e-mail, the client will pay shipping both ways by preferred carrier. We attempt to guage the repair to the specific item in our estimation. We pack very well, but cannot be held responsible for damage during your chosen method of transport. We are supported by PayPal to make financial exchanges secure and worry free.
We are located at the threshold of the Majestic Catskill Mountains of New York State and are fortunate enough to have mail and courier services available to connect us to all corners of the globe. We do not work on one piece at a time and therefore several pieces my be in various stages of repair so your repair may not be done quickly depending on the complexity and condition of the repair needed.
We specialize in early Staffordshire Cobalt Flow Blue and Mulberry Transferware pieces requiring disassembly, reconstruction, filling, repainting by hand and airbrush and re-glazeing. We of course accept all other ceramics and pottery, marble ironstone and reserve the right to deny repairs as we see fit.
