The tea plate on the left hand gives us an excellent example of the reason why one must refer to a profesionnal when a fortuitous find is made. Seen here is the plate reassembled with adhesive tape, a method that might damage the glaze of the sherds. This must be done by experts in order to limit the alterations of the artifact and ensure that the process might be reversible.
