Konstanze Pfeffer: Chinese Blue-and-White Porcelain – Detachable Fills Based on Epoxy Resin? Back
Language: Original   -   Translation
Overview:  
 
Abstract: This thesis focuses on the conservation and restoration of a chinese blue-and-white porcelain,
specifically a double-gourd vase, from the so-called "room of shards" at Loosdorf Castle in
Lower Austria. Thirty-nine preserved shards of the broken vase are being conserved, and their
condition and composition are scientifically analyzed and documented. Furthermore, a concept
for the making and mounting of detachable fills is developed, which are not glued but are meant
to be inserted and removed like puzzle pieces. Using an internal construction and magnetic
mounting, a method is proposed for implementing fully reversible and easily detachable fills on
vases.
