Ceramic Egg
Conservation
The ceramic egg was low fired and would have been pass produced. The egg also would have been painted by hand with acrylic.
ā
The egg had a raised design on it and had been broken into four pieces.
HMG Restoration Adhesive was thinly spread across the break edges of the ceramic before they were all joined together.
ā
With permission from the owner, the ceramic egg had its missing ceramic shards replaced with fills.
ā
The fills were made from Pollyfilla. The Pollyfilla was mixed with acrylic colours to recreate the colour on the surface of the egg.
