[QUOTE="charlie cheswick, post: 10527449, member: 853"]hi folks another repair i think i've got to the end of you probably remember it was originally spray painted to hide damage ;) it wasn't just a crack on the handle, after delving right down, the handle had been right off, also a long hairline crack around the neck also about 3 missing glaze areas all that area under the handle was bare of a finishing glaze was sick of seeing it like that, so one day just went for it with some coiled milliput you wouldn't believe the problems i've had matching the colour of the turquoise at one point i had a right sh*t fit over it and nearly threw it out the window be interested to see you thoughts its no longer really an antique burmantofts jug, more a fantasy piece now i guess the first pic is taken in the harshest light type with no (zer0) editing would like real honest opinions, been a learning experience with restoring (or trying) so all feedback appreciated [ATTACH=full]529196[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]529197[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]529198[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]529199[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]529200[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]529201[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]529202[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]529203[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
