Never seen anyone do this before. When I have repaired broken china I have had the glue stuck to my fingers along with the china, always got in a mess before I had finished. And never got it perfect. This is amazing. This repair job is an ART itself.

Wonderful little series. Many thanks for sharing your remarkable work. I wish a mention had been made of how any excess epoxy was cleaned from the surface of the vase after it was brushed into the cracks while taped.

This is an amazing work and appreciate your sharing. Just a question, normally when we glue we apply glue to both cross sections, applying glue from surface, will it provide a reliable joint? Thanks.

Like others who have commented, I too found this very interesting. I would like to see more. They deserve a playlist on the KZfaq channel. The history of the damage does add to the story. Well done adding that bit. I know Mr/ Wheelers name, and I know Mr. Spencer, who provided the music, but I don't know the names of the video production team. They too were an important part of bringing this story to the public. It seems to me these video makers deserve credit (and responsibility) for their work as well. There is room at the end to list them I should think. Well done video team. I have recently learned of the art of Kintsukuroi (kintsugi). It is fascinating, on many levels. Is there any room for Kintsugi in the Queens Conservatory Department? I think I know the answer to this because I am a westerner myself and Kintsugi is a very different aesthetic, but I felt like asking. I like that with kintsukuroi the conservator becomes an important artist in their own right and that the piece is given a new, visible history that doesn't attempt to hide the fact the piece was broken but in some way accepts it. In some way it even celebrates it. This is a very new different way of thinking for me when it comes to a broken piece of art. The West's aesthetic is that no one should ever know a Mr. Wheeler touched the piece. Yet the vase will never be whole again no matter how well Mr. Wheeler does his job. I like that in kintsugi the piece is repaired and becomes a new piece. In the case of this vase imagine a beautiful repair of silver or gold which then becomes the center of attention for the pair leading to the telling of the story of the history of the piece. A piece that now will be based by unnoticed. I find the possibilities fun and interesting to consider. Does the Queen have _anything_ repaired using kintsugi?

I suppose that the poor maid's great great grand daughter is still paying off the cost of the vase to her majesty !! Porr girl, she was probably up at dawn, had little sleep and was paid with pennies !! But she could always brag that she was working for the Queen !

+The British Monarchy. David, I used to do china restoration in the U.K. 40 years ago. I now live in Australia, and have been asked to do some more. In the past, I used Chintex china glaze, but can't seem to get hold of it here. it used to be made in Bristol, but seems to be made in Europe now. I've written, but no reply. I'd really like to get hold of some, any ideas? I noticed you said you use a 2 part resin for glazing. I've considered that, but decided against the idea, because of drying time, and also the effects of gravity on resin. I'd be most grateful if you could let me know what 'make' it is you use? I've been using nail varnish as glaze in the absence of Chintex, & don't feel quite right about it. Any suggestions would be gratefully received. Thanks in advance.

Ich frage mich, was der Künstler denken oder sagen würde, wenn er sähe, das seine Vasen heute noch existieren und mit wieviel Sorgfalt und Liebe sie gepflegt und restauriert werden. Das sie teilweise in Museen stehen und wie wertvoll sie heute sind. Ob er sich das jemals hätte träumen können?😊
