Germany, Liselotte Kantner for Melitta, Porcelain
Damage: Chip (2 cm²)

From the same Stockholm Cobalt Blossom series as No. 015—a vintage tableware line produced in the 1960s–70s.
The plates in this series feature blue-on-blue flowers set against a white background.

With a large, non-organic chip like this, a mold can be taken from an undamaged part of the piece. Using a resin mold as support, I gradually rebuilt the missing section before completing the repair.
