Perilously perched atop a bookshelf, patiently awaiting a pirouette to the parquet, this earthenware pottery was a beloved possession of its owner and prays to once again be the prize of their eye. While I don’t work with many ceramics, occasionally one comes along that temps me; the novelty of the new, the challenge of the task and the pleading of a good client all conspire to have me saying yes.

What the actual hell!!!….dude..are you a wizard??? Cause that was straight up magic
what a beautiful piece and an amazing restoration job.
Since you are branching out to restore art other than paintings, can we expect any tapestries in the future? Kidding aside, you have a gift and would likely do an amazing job.
I love noticing the Gamble-esque tubes you used for glue tubes after havibg watched the behind the canvas series! This is why I love learning about all the niche thibgs related to something! Thank you for making both of these series!
Yikes! Did the paint finish match the glaze finish or did you have to cover the paint with anything to match the glaze shine?
Initially, I thought I was not going to like this episode. Wrong again. Well done Julian, you could fix a rainy day.
What Julian can't do?
Julian, please tell us the name of the Music at 11:50! I am 75 years old and I would be able to play that on my piano, if I could get the name and the sheet music 🎼🎵🎶🎹🎹
Wait. If you retouch with watercolor, isn’t a drop of water or a wipe with a slightly damp cloth is going to take off the retouching? I get reversible, but that’s risky.
Hubris is a noun, not an adjective. “So hubris as to think…” should be “so arrogant as to think” or something.
Whew, now that I got that off my chest I can go watch the video.
This was AMAZING to watch!!
This restoration is amazing! But I was distracted by its perfection…
This project brings to.mind the Japanese art of repairing broken earthenware with gold…highlighting the breaks….Kinstugi.
I wonder if it was considered?
I'm watching this, envisioning what made that beautiful bowl swan-dive from the top of that bookcase, and the following came to mind: "If the world were actually flat, cats would have pushed everything over the edge by now."
9:30 "this is a technique that is used by……..×click×…..paleontologists"
Fantastic
Interesting piece, but would have enjoyed hearing the provenance.
9:31 ANTICIP-
Poor decision on thumbnail. It looked like another 'Art Science Series' vid, because you are in it. We are programmed, now, to expect restoration videos with a thumbnail of only the original artwork. That said, your new series with you 'in the frame', discovering and/or sharing the nuances thereof, are less interesting to your broader viewership, as stats show. I'm not being nasty, I love your videos, just letting you know, if you didn't already…
I'd love the backstory on how it fell off the shelf. Was it a child? Was it a pet? Earthquake?
Very interesting and enjoyable segment!
Beautiful work!
Anyone else find the glue making part fascinating as well? 😮
another great work
but not gonnna lie
i was expecting Kintsugi method
Curious about the number of hours you spent on this repair and how did that compare to your estimated time when developing the proposal.
You should’ve played the Grateful Dead’s China Doll.
wow. beautiful work.
Beautiful restore 🤗🥰
I'm fairly certain that the pot is terra Cotta and not stoneware. Terra Cotta is very porous and it would absorb lots of the adhesive like the clay body of this pot does.
Up next, non-canvas painting?
Years ago I lived near a once popular graffiti wall, previously a foundation for an old building. It was being reclaimed by nature. I loved to walk down there just to be alone with my thoughts. One day I found a mountain of broken plates scattered across the landscape. I quickly realized some of the shards had sharpie marks, fragments of words. I spent a whole summer day picking up all of the broken plate glass, sorting out the ones with sharpie marks. After quite a lot of meticulously matching different types of plates to different types of sharpie, I eventually realized it was actually several plates with sharpie marks. Long story short, I hot glued the plate shards together and found multiple angsty messages about teenage girls saying angry things about their family and relationships. I looked into it more, writing on plates and shattering them was a popular tiktok trend for a time. Some people might come away from this angry, but I had a really fun time.
My brain always loves the retouching, watching the abnormalities fade away (hits me square in the ASMR) and makes me so sleepy. And the lovely music helps as well!
This reminds me I’ve been meaning to get a Kintsugi kit for a broken item I have.
This seems like an unusual amount of effort for an 'Unknown Florentine' pedestal bowl – it must have had sentimental value for the client. For those interested, this is a very accessible / affordable piece of mcm Italian art pottery.
Your color matching never fails to impress me.
You did a wonderful job reconstructing that broken rubble. In awe.
Until I started watching the Repair Shop on BBC I had no idea ceramics could be restored.
I wanna see this guy collab with jordan schlansky
14:29 Milliput? wicked Julian
Good work on that kind of piece you arent even used to restore, always amazed by how pristine you make it
That retouching was magical to watch.
What kind of pottery was this? I mean what age and region did come from? I love those green and blue hues <3
Ah, waiting three days for paraloid b72 to dissolve. Love those moments @8:24
Julian, this is truly amazing. Watching you work is always magic but this is right up my alley. I fell in love with Kirsten Ramsay and her work restoring ceramics on the British tv series "The Repair Shop" and this continues that joy. Thank you for taking on this and sharing the work with us. I have one question though, What did you do about the signature? I know you do not touch up signatures on paintings, so how did you address this. With cracks and loss through the signature I was really hoping the final shots would tell us how you tackled this. Keep up the amazing work.
Anyone else recognize that paint as QOR watercolor in tubes?
BEAUTIFUL RESTORATION
