At Chilcoro, you can choose the finish from gold powder, gold powder, silver powder, silver powder, platinum, and colored lacquer.

*Please note that in the case of vessels with penetrations (fine crack patterns appearing on the surface of the ceramic glaze), there is a possibility that lacquer may get into the penetrations.
*Please note that with matte textured pottery such as yakijime, metal powder may get into the small holes and become difficult to remove.
*When repairing porcelain, we first try adhesion with lacquer, but due to the characteristics of the material, adhesion may not be possible. Please note that in that case, synthetic adhesives may be used.
*The handles of cups, etc. can be repaired, but cannot be used.
*Items that are exposed to high heat for long periods of time, such as earthenware pots, and items that come into contact with water for long periods of time, such as flower vases and flower pots, can be repaired, but cannot be used. Please enjoy it as an ornamental.
*If items are glued together, please remove them yourself and bring them with you. If the adhesive has not been removed, you will be charged an additional fee of ¥3,300, and if the adhesive remains after it has been removed, you will be charged an additional fee of ¥1,100.
*Please note that delivery times will be delayed for round powder (gold/silver) finishes, works with many divisions, and glass.
