PORCELAIN
MEISSEN, SEVRES, LIMOGES are three of the finest names in porcelain art. Discriminating collectors and dealers from all over the world have sent their damaged treasures to Hamlin’s Restoration. The recreation of delicate flowers missing from Meissen, Dresden, Sitzendorf, Schierholz, and other well-known German & Continental porcelain items is one of our specialties. We will hand-build and paint to exacting standards using archives and original Meissen catalogs for reference.

CHINESE EXPORT, IMARI, SATSUMA and other Oriental porcelain and pottery objects. The Chinese and Japanese were the first to produce fine high-quality porcelain and closely guarded their secret formulas for centuries. Even today, the clarity and beauty of oriental porcelain is unmistakable and highly-desired.
