New Making: Cultures of Quotidian Pottery and Porcelain Mending in the Long Eighteenth Century

我的博士项目将探讨1660年至1830年间英国地位较低的家庭陶瓷修补，支持这些修补文化作为漫长的十八世纪消费的一个重要和未充分研究的方面。烧瓷、扎金属、粘瓷、铆瓷、填瓷、绑瓷等五花八门的做法，往往被学者们所忽略，而被博物馆学实践所掩盖。通过新唯物主义和行动者网络理论的观点，我将提供一个创新的新研究，探索陶瓷修复作为一个“改造”，其中贸易人，仆人，陶艺家，户主，食客，厨师和材料的机构混合。研究将结合传统的档案和收藏为基础的方法与平行的实验重建的方法来绘制视觉和文本材料从MS收据簿，广告，贸易卡，家庭帐户和probateinventory连同丰富的景观陶瓷收藏品和考古组装的surroundCambridge。我将主要从菲茨威廉博物馆独特的Glaucine陶瓷中获取材料，在欧洲雕塑和装饰艺术守护者维多利亚·艾弗里博士的共同监督下与博物馆合作，将这段经常被忽视和抹去的历史融入我们对十八世纪消费的更广泛理解中。

My doctoral project will explore lower-status household pottery and porcelain mending in Britain between 1660 and 1830,championing these repair cultures as an important and under-studied facet of consumption in the long eighteenthcentury. The diverse practices of china-burning, metal-lacing, gluing, riveting, filling and wire-binding are often passedover by scholars and concealed by museological practice. Informed by new materialist and actor-network-theoreticperspectives, I will provide an innovative new study exploring ceramic repair as a 'remaking' where the agencies oftrades people, servants, ceramicists, householders, diners, cooks and materials intermixed. Research will combinetraditional archive and collections based methodologies with parallel experimental reconstructive approaches to drawvisual and textual material from MS receipt books, advertisements, trade cards, household accounts and probateinventories together with the rich landscape of ceramic collections and archeological assemblages which surroundCambridge. I will take my material sources predominantly from the Fitzwilliam Museum's unique Glaisher ceramics,collaborating with the Museum under the co-supervision of Keeper of European Sculpture and Decorative Arts DrVictoria Avery to integrate this often ignored and erased history into our broader understanding of eighteenth-centuryconsumption.
