I am repairing this French footed faience bowl with a very difficult break, right around the place where the curve up from the flat part of the plate starts. I made a base of cardboard with wooden supports and then a plastic ring, cut down from a piece of plastic the same diameter, to support the pieces as I put them in. The footed bowl fits into the cardboard base which is what some of the photos show.

This video shows polishing rounded, graded, #3 gold, step 5. #3 gold can also be polished with a polishing tool but I have found the other, more labor intensive process gives a far better and even finish. In the video I start for the first minute with a #2000 mesh stone but quickly switch to a #3000 mesh since #3 gold is so fine. There are about 8 more steps after this initial polishing. In the video it looks like I am not doing much but by the end of the 8 additional steps it will be a nicely polished seam of gold. Step 5 refers to this page, https://www.kintugi.com/?page_id=225 For more on traditional, lacquer based kintsugi see kintugi.com
This video shows preliminary work for assembly of this bowl. I am putting numbers on the glaze which I will later remove in order to help me know how it will go together.
