Posted By: JayC Sat, Jul 15, 2017 Thanks everyone! Particularly Badiste and Mr. Prussing for your suggestions...frankly I think I will have to set and ponder this for a while before I decide what to do. The work that somebody(ies) put in on this piece deserves recognition, I'm just not sure I'm the person to get it repaired...we'll see. Again, thank you! |

Posted By: rat Thu, Jul 13, 2017 maybe a couple of decades old but this is decorative art for the mass market. actual carved lacquer pieces are carved after having been built up in layer after layer of lacquer, rather like if you carved into 100 layers of paint. The flaking on the rim and the missing piece from the foot suggests that so such practice happened for this piece. |

Posted By: JayC Fri, Jul 14, 2017 High Rat, and thank you, I know about lacquer ...have you ever seen lacquer soften in hot water? I have and it isn't pretty. In any event I'm looking more at value of conservation versus value of piece not whether or not it's real and/or contemporary. Conservation can get pretty expensive. Anyone with experience with this subject? Thanks! |

Posted By: rat Fri, Jul 14, 2017 You may be referring to beadiste, who is likely better informed than I am about lacquer, I don't have experience conserving lacquer, that's for sure |
