A fine plate, in my humble opinion, but not an extraordinary example by any means.<\/p>\n<p>But&#8230;when the plate is turned over, the true beauty and the reason that I purchased it for my collection, is revealed. 34\u00a0small brass staples, seen only on the underside, clamp together the 8 broken pieces as tight as when the repair was done, over 200 years ago. Even though stapling, aka riveting, is the most common form of inventive repair, I still marvel at examples such as this. And naturally, I would proudly display it with the &#8220;wrong&#8221; side out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/?attachment_id=12930\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12930\"><img
