With this piece – a porcelain figurine that doubled as a candle holder – I had a de-capitation, another break at the base, a shoe missing, 19 leaves broken or missing, and a large number of petals gone.
Although this was a very expensive piece of porcelain, it had mostly sentimental value to the client, who was not a collector. She was very happy to hear that the figurine could be repaired.
First job was gluing the pieces back, then making the stems, fabricating roses, fabricating the shoe (freehand). Then the painting began.
Four different coatings and sandings later, the porcelain repair job was finished.
