Step-by-step instructions and examples show how staining may be removed, cracks stabilized, pieces rebonded, moulds taken, areas retouched, lustres applied and gilding restored. Reference information provides a usuful aid for anyone unsure about the different qualities of clay, solvents, adhesives, bulking agents, plaster, paints and varnishes. This handbook should be useful for anyone interested in the conservation of ceramics, whether their aim is to pursue a career in this field or to mend a favourite plate.
