Myott Torpedo Vase Restoration
We were asked to restore this rare example of a Staffordshire Myott Son & Co. Torpedo Vase. The 4 'finials' at the top of the vase are very prone to damage and in this case one of them had been completely knocked off and shoddily glued back by one of the previous owners. In order to cover up the poor quality repair the finial was over-painted with pure white gloss paint. This did not match the ‘honey-glaze’ of the Myott pottery so the other 3 finials were also painted white. It was therefore our task to strip the gloss paint away, remove and repair the damaged finial and also to match the honey-glaze back to original condition.

"Just a quick note to say a mighty THANK YOU for the restoration work to my Terrier’s ear which you have so skilfully rebuilt. The quality of work, colour and glaze matching is superb and I am extremely impressed. You have also exceeded the estimated turn-around time by a substantial margin and the overall cost involved has been worth every penny. Please ensure that these comments are relayed to everyone involved. Thank you once more and I will most certainly call on your services again should a future occurrence materialise."
