Featured Pueblo Blackware Pot... restore?

well then...u did an even better job to bring it back to life !!!

It's funny...how a big ugly busted pot....could look so wonderful in it's simplicity.....!!!!!!!!!

Display it well !!!

 

And these pots do have life-- such a tactile expression, such a visceral connection to the woman who once made it-- it's so worth saving. Great work!

 

You are so right. This pot was on a shelf in my mother-in-law's garage since the 1990s. Broken and sad, languishing in a cardboard box.
I am so glad that I got the opportunity to make it whole again.
Now it's in our living room, back to life, and I can admire it everyday.

 

@stracci - it turned out so well! Beautiful and and great work!!

 

@stracci , Wow! Nicely done! Glad I came back and revisited your thread !

 

wow, the pot looks fabulous after your bringing it back to life, so nice to see, thanks for sharing this

 

Yes,that last photo certainly does put in all in perspective. Well done on the repair work. Great job!

 

It wasn't too hard to repair. Mr. Stracci helped me to position the really big piece. That was a two-man job. Then I worked on the smaller shards myself. The Duco Cement is a great product.
We recently had a toddler and his Mom come to visit. I stood over my pot like a mother bear while that little kid charged around my living room throwing toys

 

her fault...not the kids !!!!

 

Yeah, it was an impromptu visit and I didn't have time to baby-proof the house. The sweet little rug rat also put a small dent on my new refrigerator and a 4" scratch on my new dishwasher. I didn't notice these things till they were gone. Grrrrr......

 

bill the mother !!!

 

They just don't build them like they used too ....appliances, not kids
