Meissen Vase 'Four Elements' restoration ~ Water ~

Meissen was the first factory in Europe to make ‘real’ or hard-paste porcelain and has remained the most significant European porcelain manufacturer to this day. The factory was founded in Dresden in 1710. 

 Meissen porcelain was once-fired, or green-fired. It was noted for its great resistance to thermal shock; a visitor to the factory at the time reported having seen a white-hot teapot being removed from the kiln and dropped into cold water without damage. Evidence to support this widely disbelieved story was given in the 1980s when the procedure was repeated in an experiment at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Below my repair on Meissen allegorical large vase from the 'Four Elements' series.

Inspired by Kändler models (1741-1747), modeled in relief and outlined in gilt, with generous spout, on oval pedestal base, the 'Water' vase with a marine scene with various vessels, applied with protruding rearing horses, a mermaid and sea monsters, the neck with Neptune, the algae and shell handle surmounted by a putti angels.

 Rebuilding missing mermaid tail fins.

Meissen candlestick repair / restoration

Meissen porcelain restoration requires the skills and knowledge of the craft that have gone in creating and designing the original figurine. First the base color, which is almost always white, has to be matched and recreated. Then the pattern/design has to be matched and replicated, Meissen pieces are very elaborate and require great patience and attention to detail on the part of the restoration expert. Meissen porcelain is very strong and unlike many soft-paste porcelains, can withstand cleaning, gluing and bonding. However, because of the complexity of its design and pattern, it is recommended that only professional restorers with experience and knowledge of porcelain restoration should attempt to repair Meissen porcelain.

Even if your item is in hundreds of pieces I can restore  it to the original condition.

Only  jigsaw puzzle enthusiast or professional art restorer can put all the pieces together.
