Dear Tony;
Lacquer with gold dust mixed in is I think the standard asian repair.
Cheers, Hank

Tony:
It is rather doubtful if you can repair a tea bowl so that it still remains
functional. I had a repair job on a porcelain tile, but it was not a break,
just a color chip to fix. It was an old valuable antique so the literature
gives this advice. Never repair anything that cannot be returned to it's
original state. I used Epoxy that uses resin and catalyst and then sprayed
it with acrylic. Your situation sounds a little different.

I think that I read somewhere that in Japan, they repaired broken teabowls,
and other prized pots with gold solder. You might want to look at some of
the water resistant marine epoxies out there for your repair...

when the mix has been applied and sets, slightly above the surface, it
must be burnished to finish. This method provides a visable and attractive
repair.

Just curious... is the gold color the "proper" way to indicate that the
teabowl has been repaired (as opposed to my Western mind that tells me to
minimize the visible repair)???

I've seen it done on Japanese T.V. They use the same epoxy ribbon
(plyable ribbon, yellow and blue you mix to get green.) This is for chips
or
whole sections of the bowl lost. After the ribbion is applied and has
set a
little, you sprinkle the gold powder on. The epoxy is tacky enough to bond
the
powder.
At a local antique/junk store, they color the epoxy with a gold felt
pen. Don't know if it is special (a sharpie or something like that) or
just a
felt tipped pen.
