During my traineeship as a restorer at the former Rheinisches Landesmuseum Bonn (today: LVR State Museum Bonn) got ich the wonderful and for me very exciting commission to subject a late Roman glass with graver engraving from the 4th century AD to a comprehensive restoration.
I got the glass in individual fragments in the original condition from an excavation in the Cologne/Bonn area.
According to the general practice for such a restoration at the time, the color of the missing areas should be reproduced true to the original, thus restoring the original shape of the glass.
I made all the missing pieces of glass out of a suitably colored resin to complement the original shards.
Today the restored glass is an integral part of the permanent exhibition at the LVR LandesMuseum in Bonn. I'm particularly proud of that.
