18th Century Slipware Bowl Repaired - 7/13/2010 11:16:05 PM    baltbottles   Posts: 2298 Joined: 11/25/2002 From: Baltimore Maryland Status: offline I just picked up this 18th Century Petaled Slipware Bowl from my restoration guy. I dug this bowl a few years ago from an early Wilmingtion Delaware privy. This bowl dates 1760s-1780s and was likely made by potter Mathew Crips.

One thing I like about the restoration job is the materials and methods used are not destructive to the pottery and are 100 percent reversible So the piece is both conserved and made very displayable. I have had quite a few pieces restored and all have come out great. If anyone has any stoneware or redware they would like restored PM me and I will give you the contact information. But I will warn you its not cheap.

I have tried a couple different materials. Plaster of paris seems pretty good since it workable and removeable. _____________________________ FREE Online Medicine Guide - http://www.antiquemedicines.com/MedicineNexus/Nexus.htm Web Site - http://antiquemedicines.com Email : mknapp@antiquemedicines.com (in reply to baltbottles) Post #: 10
