Ceramic Repair and Restoration Service
We provide repair and restoration services for all types of china, ceramic and pottery including figurines, plates, vases and other art objects. Initially all pieces are cleaned and cemented together. Once the piece is together, you can choose to fill in the missing areas and paint, glaze, and redecorate the piece to match the original color, texture, and sheen. If you prefer, you can opt to have your china invisibly restored back to its original condition. Once a piece is invisibly restored the damaged area is invisible to the naked eye, to touch or even to black light.
Crystal Repair Experts
We can also help with damaged crystal, whether a direct repair or restoration of a speciality item. The type of damage done to your crystal or glass will determine your repair options. If your crystal has been chipped, we can fill in or grind down and polish the damaged area. We take special care to ensure that the piece retains its original shape and integrity. For broken crystal, we can cement it back together using a special resin that is non-yellowing, light reflective, water-proof, boil proof, and is cured under an ultraviolet light. Any missing areas can be filled in, reshaped and polished. Missing bases and stems from glasses or vases can be replaced.

It has been in use for over 4000 years in China. It is made from special white clay and fired at a temperature of 1280 degrees centigrade. There are a couple different ways in which these items are decorated. The most common today is molded, decorated, and glazed. Others are molded and enameled then fired again.
