If the purchased porcelain has a single color glaze, it can be cleaned with clean water. If there is any stubborn dirt on it, it can be gently scraped off with detergent or bamboo sticks. Because most monochromatic glazes are high-temperature glazes, the combination of the glaze body is better. If you buy painted porcelain (tri colored porcelain, underglaze multicolored porcelain, powder colored porcelain, etc.), you need to be extra careful because the glaze patterns are fired twice, and their firmness is much worse than that of monochrome glaze. Before cleaning, pay attention to observation. If any weak areas are found, they can be glued firmly with 502 adhesive first. Wipe with a damp cloth, using gentle techniques and avoiding the use of various chemical cleaners to prevent damage to the glaze patterns.
If there are cracks on the porcelain, it can be glued firmly with 502 adhesive to prevent the cracks from further expanding. If there are small pieces of debris falling off, you can first sew them up and fix them with adhesive tape. Observe carefully, and if the position is correct, you can apply a few drops of 502 adhesive to fix them firmly. Ancient porcelain is a fragile and valuable cultural relic. In daily preservation, attention should be paid to the following aspects:
Pay attention to the method of handling porcelain: When moving porcelain, special attention should be paid to the method of handling and storing porcelain. When collecting porcelain, it is forbidden for two people to pass it hand in hand. Because there are risks involved - if there is a mistake during the handover of items, whether intentional or unintentional, one cannot escape responsibility. The correct method is for one person to first place the porcelain on the table, while the other person can hold and lift it with both hands; Do not only hold a certain part of the collection. If you are carrying a wooden seat, do not use one hand to hold the wooden seat. Use one hand to hold the porcelain while using the other hand to hold the wooden seat.
Pay attention to choosing a storage location: Generally, ancient porcelain can be placed in cabinets with glass doors. Wooden shelves should be considered for the shelves of the cabinets, as collisions with the shelves are inevitable when holding porcelain. Choosing wooden shelves can reduce such hidden dangers. In addition, try not to brush paint or coating on wooden shelves, as after prolonged placement, paint and coating may adhere to the bottom of ceramic collections. If this is not considered when taking out porcelain, it may cause accidental damage. When placing, thick paper or other materials should not be placed under the porcelain to avoid accidents such as tipping over. It is also a good choice to place it in a brocade box with a soft pouch. In World Expo souvenirs, commemorative porcelain is placed in a brocade box. Even if the outer packaging is crushed, the brocade box inside will not break, which can effectively protect the porcelain.
Pay attention to dust prevention: There is a reflective layer on the surface of ceramics, which has properties similar to glass. Although the dust is small, it is also some small sand particles, which have sharp edges and corners. When wiping, it is easy to damage the porcelain glaze surface; If wiped frequently, the surface of ceramics is prone to losing its luster. So it is necessary to carry out dust-proof treatment on ceramics. If it is necessary to remove dust from porcelain, using a feather duster or airbag blowing is a good method. Try to minimize the movement of porcelain: As ancient porcelain is fragile, reducing the number of movements is obviously the right thing to do. After customizing porcelain, it is also important to pay attention to placing a large amount of porcelain together, which can cause friction and damage. Therefore, it is necessary to try to package each item independently.
