Large Wedgwood Stilton Dish

Just click any of the photos below to go back to the examples main page.

This lovely Wedgwood Stilton Dish with flowers and leaves in relief arrived with a large section missing, and a long hairline crack on the cover, running from the top of the missing area to the top of the cover. The inside of the cover had staining from use.
The Base had two hairline cracks and several chips.





The long hairline crack was stabilized with Fynebond epoxy before work could begin on the large missing section.

A mold was taken of the flowers and leaves on the opposite side, using a two part silicone putty, the area where the mold was taken which was very similar pattern to the missing area.
The mold was positioned on the cover and filled with A+B Putty, while the putty was still slightly pliable the mold was removed and the fill adjusted by carving the relief flowers and leaves to match the existing.

The repairs were painted with Cold Glaze with dry powder pigments to colour.
Finally the repairs were glazed over with Cold Glaze.

Finally the repairs were glazed over with Cold Glaze, including added fumed silica to matt down the repairs to match the rest of the piece.
