What Our Clients Say
Comments made by some of our very happy clients:
“I would like to record my heartfelt thanks to Alan Weyers of Ceramic Conservation Studio, who lovingly and painstakingly restored the lid of my white porcelain 90 Winterling Kirchenlamitz (Bavaria) sweet jar. He did not have all the pieces and therefore had to create the missing pieces. The finished product is smooth and shows no sign of having been previously damaged. It perfectly matches the high gloss porcelain of the jar and fits snugly.”

"My name is Toni Q, and Ceramic Conservation Studio made me cry!
My Grandmother's grandmother (which is my great-great-grandmother, I think) was given a beautiful serving dish with lid as a wedding gift. This dish was passed on to her grandchild (my gran) on her wedding day and then to me on mine. It is simple, white, and elegant, and I treasured it.
Unfortunately, one day the lid was smashed and my beautiful dish was chipped. I was devastated, but it was so special to me I had not the heart to throw it away. So I kept the bits and hid the dish in a dark, corner cupboard.
Enter CCS! When I heard about their services, I retrieved my dish from its grave and sent it in, hopeful, but not overly enthusiastic I admit. Alan Weyers, chief restorer, reported to me that my dish had several flaws and was proving to be somewhat problematic. It took so long to come back to me that I thought my lack of enthusiasm was justified.
WRONG! My beautiful, elegant, heirloom is more beautiful and elegant than ever. It is clean, delicate, white, and most amazing of all, usable. Delivered carefully wrapped in delicate tissue, as I unwrapped it I could feel my generations of grandmothers smiling over my shoulder. What a blessing! So I had to cry!”

“The jar is about 130mm high and 130mm in diameter and is of white glazed earthenware. It is not highly valuable but is precious for sentimental reasons.
It was badly chipped on the rim, with a crack from there down about two thirds of the body. The crack had ‘sprung’, so I feared it might not be repairable. The other problem was that the jar was plain white and I could not see how any repair work could possibly not show. . . . . .
. . . . . I was amazed at the result. As far as I could see the jar might never have been damaged at all. I was hugely relieved and extremely grateful to Mr Weyers for an extraordinary piece of work.”
