Out of curiosity, whats that bowel made of? It looks like porcelain, but since you found it metal detecting, I can only assume it will be made out of metal.

The bowl is made of porcelain. Its circa 1880s hand painted details. I found it metal detecting at an old foundation. The metal detector went off on a curling iron. The bowl was beside the curling iron.

You definitely have some patience. I don't think I would have taken the time. Good work.

Thx for the replys. Considering the bowl turned out halfway decent I'm going to a location that is loaded with pottery and stuff that I think I could model up the missing pieces. It would be a neat project for me to do. I'm also gonna start picking up all the broker bowls and cups and see what I can do to repair them. Ive never bothered with broken stuff before but I'm gonna start now.
