Here are some more pieces I disassembled and one I couldn’t get apart. One of the pieces is a Ming period celadon, 45cm. diameter plate with an interesting wood repair piece. The piece I couldn’t get apart is the Oribe suribachi. I tried twice applying heat to it for a total of 30 minutes but I guess the walls are so thick that the epoxy doesn’t weaken easily.

Through the advice of a couple of people who left comments in the last post and suggested heat I was able to get the 2 plates into pieces.
160C for about 10 minutes.
I just had these come to me. They are 2 Chinese kosometsuke plates that have been glued together with some kind of epoxy glue. I don’t know how I will get them apart but I hope to. The other piece is from my kiln. A peace keeper vase.
