[QUOTE="say_it_slowly, post: 261665, member: 50"]I've got a few staple repaired pieces and I always imagine they were very precious to someone. I have a tea bowl and saucer in the Canova pattern and did quite a bit of research on it at one time. I was volunteering at an archaeological dig of a church site dating back to the 18th Century. One of the few sherds of pottery found was a small bit of brown transferware. I spent a lot of time trying to identify the pattern from a 1" bit of pattern and eventually found it to be Canova. I love to buy whole examples of pottery items that match the tiny bits found while digging and of course it helps date a site when you can date the pots.[/QUOTE]
