Conservation treatment of Spanish lustreware and Chinese porcelain bowls.

Students of the department ceramics conservation researched and restored a decorative lustreware bowl as well as three bowls in Chinese porcelain. The main issue with these objects was the amount of old restorations including; schellak based bondings, deteriorated fillings, and paint layers on original pieces. Before treatment the objects were studied and the methods of conservation were determined. The treatment consisted of; removing all former previous restorations, bonding off the fragment, filling of the gaps, and painting of these fillings. The objects were restored with stable and reversible materials.
