We have purchased several Kintsugi items from Morty at Lakeside Pottery because they are simply the best! Recently, I had one of our favorite vases we purchased from them several years ago, when something heavy landed on top of it, creating many new cracks. In talking with Morty, I sent it off to him to fix it for us. He went above and beyond and did an absolutely beautiful job! For this very reason we will continue to come back for future purchases, and strongly recommend anyone to do so as well.Review from Caitlin M

I had a Civil War-era cookie jar, a family heirloom, accidentally crash on the floor with one corner shattered. I was very worried about it ever being fixed, as this cookie jar has delicate detailed painting on it and it's made out of porcelain. Well, I couldn't be happier with the repair. It's impossible to tell that it ever shattered! Everything is seamless.Review from James A

They did a fantastic job repairing and family heirloom decorative plate that had been snapped in half into two pieces by careless movers. There is no visible seem at all - the plate looks as good as new! All our interactions were highly professional and this team was super easy to work with, and they do high quality work. I strongly recommend them!Review from Dr. Randy T

The owner is friendly and professional. I had a very pleasant experience fixing my antique artifact. I have a very ancient belt hook with its head snapped. Morty repaired it perfectly, and I can see no trace of repair at all. No gaps, no lines, no discoloration, just as if it never broke. Wonderful job done!Review from Chad L

Five stars all the way! I consider myself fortunate to have come across Lakeside Pottery Studio a few years ago when a family heirloom statuette was knocked from a shelf and broken. Then, a couple years later, another item inherited from my grandparents, a Japanese bowl, became chipped and damaged. Morty and Patty do impeccable work. I am 100% satisfied with the repair work they did on my family items. The repairs are, to my untrained eye, completely undetectable. They saved my family heirlooms with their beautiful craftsmanship. Their communication throughout the process is top notch, and their packaging is done with such care that no damage is likely to be incurred when the item is shipped back. If you have an item, whether it is a valuable collectible or simply something of sentimental value to you, you can trust Lakeside Pottery Studio to give the best results possible in bringing your damaged, cracked or broken item back to its former glory. The old adage is true..."you get what you pay for." There is a lot of time and meticulous effort involved in restoring damaged pottery. To me, the cost to repair my items was well worth it. I could not have glued or epoxied my items and had a favorable result. Just not possible. These guys are the best!.Review from rob s

Wonderful experience. A top-notch restoration of my Goldscheider figurine. I was especially impressed with Lakeside Pottery Studio's great communications and talent, can't say enough positives about my experience. I would recommend them without reservation. Many thanks!Review from Eric P

Lakeside Pottery Studio did a fantastic restoration on our 70 year old Japanese vase that was shattered. The detail work was such that we could not tell where it had been broken and looked better than new. They are true artisans. I would highly recommend them for any art restoration work.Review from Mary Ellen F

The deacon at my church shared his kintsugi bowl as part of a recent sermon. It was a vivid spiritual image. Little did I know I would soon want kintsugi for my daughter. She had a very big year starting up her own marketing business, and she did it with an arm that was badly damaged from a 2022 auto accident. As she prepared for her sixth surgery last Monday, I knew I wanted a gift that would recognize all she's been through so bravely and convey that she is immensely precious as she is right now. The deacon steered me to Lakeside Pottery. After viewing the website, I called Morty. It was a fun, heartening call and I left it knowing I’d made the right choice. Morty's kindness, empathy and commitment to my satisfaction are reflected in the beautiful bowl I received. It came impossibly fast, just 4 days, and arrived the morning after my daughter's total elbow replacement. It is perfect in color, size, gold work, and feel; it's a pleasure to hold. I consider it my lifetime gift to my daughter. I highly recommend Lakeside Pottery.
