Ceramic Condition Investigation
A tailored review of unusual surfaces, deposits, deterioration, repairs and firing-related features.
Price: quotation confirmed in writing after photographic review
Condition investigations begin with the practical question: for example, whether a feature is consistent with restoration, environmental change, manufacturing or later surface treatment.
The proposed workflow may combine photography, magnification, material comparison and other appropriate examinations. Destructive testing is never assumed and requires separate written agreement.
Findings are presented with clear limitations and, where useful, recommendations for further specialist conservation or laboratory work.
