Han period koro. New project, traditional, lacquer based kintsugi
Here is a Han period Chinese koro. Smashed with some missing pieces in the lid. It will be a challenging piece for a number of reasons. It is an earthenware lustre glaze which means it will be very easy to destroy the surface. Also, the missing piece will be a challenge.

Traditional, lacquer based kintsugi, step 5a, b, c, polishing #3 gold
This video shows polishing rounded, graded, #3 gold, step 5a, 5b, and 5c. I use ishiko, and 3 polishing compounds. In the video I only polish 1/2 of the foot of this Edo period bowl. Yesterday I did the other 1/2. In the next couple of days I will do the outsides and the inside. It will take about 1-2 hours to polish to the end of the compounds. There are about 5 more steps after this middle polishing.
