ROMAN POTTERY BEAKER

This slipware beaker had been temporarily attached with masking tape which was damaging its fragile slip decoration. After softening the adhesive to remove the tapes, all sections were gently brushed and consolidated where needed. To secure the sections whilst bonding, a low tack tape was used - tested to ensure its safe removal. Fills were made on larger gaps and retouched to a neutral tone.
