BonnieBee Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 I have a beautiful glazed vase with a blown out base. Can a new base be added and the vase re-fired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kielb Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 Not likely. A picture would be great as you might be able to diamond cut the original, fabricate and fire something contrasting and epoxy the two products together. Refiiring however ...............no.

Pres Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 Years ago, I had some pieces that blew out in the bottom. I ground out the base area and created cup forms for the bases. These did fit together well, and the join area tapered as it was did not look like anything more than an undercut line on the foot ring. It worked, but with all the effort it took, I decided that future problems like that were best solved by throwing a new one. However, the effort taught me a few things about precision, wet/dry shrinkage and joining. best, Pres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
