Mended china, like this 1700s English plate, will be the topic of a talk at the New York Ceramics Fair.

According to the January 18, 2013 “Antiques” column of The New York Times (“It’s as Good as Glue: Mending Shattered China“, by Eve M. Kahn), a small chapter in the history of conservation will be presented to the public at the New York Ceramics Fair on January 23, 2013. Angelika Kuettner, Associate Registrar for Collections Documentation and Imaging and Assistant Curator of Ceramics at the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation will speak on “Simply Riveting: A Look at Broken and Mended Cermaics”, detailing the use of twine, metal and glue in the repair of fine china in the 18th and 19th century.
