Hagi Plate, Pottery, Multi-fractured, Tin
Type of ceramic: Pottery
Origin: Hagi, Yamaguchi, Japan
The finish: Tin
This is a Hagi ware ceramic piece with seven broken edges. It features fine crazing, and the underside is unglazed. The repair process required careful attention to various details. For multi-fractured pieces like this, I adhered the parts in two stages, ensuring alignment to avoid any misplacement. For the crazing, I repeatedly applied masking glue to prevent the lacquer from seeping into the cracks.
