The Porcelain Restoration and China Restoration Process

Initial Assessment

Every project begins with a detailed examination. The condition of the object is assessed, including any previous repairs, missing sections, or structural weaknesses. This allows the most suitable restoration method to be selected.

Repair and Reassembly

Where necessary, discoloured or poor previous repairs are carefully removed. Broken shards are cleaned, aligned, and rebonded with precision to restore structural strength. Missing areas can be filled using suitable conservation materials while preserving as much original material as possible.

Colour Matching and Finishing

Accurate colour matching plays an important role in successful porcelain restoration and china restoration. The studio uses a controlled environment to match colours closely. Retouching is completed through airbrushing or careful hand painting to create an invisible repair whenever possible.

Depending on the object and its condition, pieces may be low fired or cold cured to provide the most suitable finish.

Conservation with a Sympathetic Approach

Conservation focuses on preventing further deterioration while respecting the history of each object. Treatments may include stabilising fragile ceramics, replacing missing parts where appropriate, and carefully restoring damaged surfaces without unnecessary replacement of original material.

Every stage of the work reflects a commitment to sympathetic craftsmanship, ensuring the finished restoration complements the original appearance of the piece.
