Highly prized ceramics have been repaired and restored since antiquity, often by professional craftsmen who specialised in repairs. Repairs enabled a damaged piece to be used again, or concealed a break or defect. Sometimes craftsmen added or removed parts in order to alter an object's function or to appeal to changing taste. Some repairs, such as adding metal rivets or gold lacquer, have an aesthetic interest of their own.
