Lakeside Pottery was able to repair my wife's broken one-of-a-kind coffee mug of great personal value. The repair is perfect--impossible to detect that the mug was ever broken. E-mails answered promptly and fully. Couldn't have been happier working with these very skilled and caring folks

ASTOUNDING!!!!! I didn't know that workmanship like this even existed until I found Lakeside and Morty, This piece was very special to me. I purchased it from a ritzy China Shop when I was 14. I saw it in the window and inquired about the price. Needless to say a kid couldn't afford something like that BUT, they had one in the back with a broken tail that they offered to sell me for $25; every penny I could put together and it was mine. I glued the tail and put a ribbon around it and was happy as could be. 50 years later I had a UPS Store pack it for me (they're supposed to know what they are doing, right?) so I could carry it to a new home we are moving to. When I opened it I found it was destroyed (about 50 pieces). The store took no responsibility for their packaging even when I explained that I personally transported it. Where to go now.................Angie's List.................and I found Lakeside and Morty, Patty and Mike. What great artists they are! Morty explained the cost to repair this and the three levels of repair that they offered. He even suggested I might be able to find another one on EBay which would be much cheaper than repairing it. As upset as I was he knew that would not be an option. He was so kind to me and listened to my story while I tried to keep back tears. I never felt at all foolish for wanting to put this kind of money into a $25 item; it had so much meaning to me. When I saw the finished product I knew that I had received a very good price. It looked amazing. It goes without saying that there were no visible breaks; but the way the paint was matched and the shading was done; it was, simply put, a work of art. It is easy to see why people come to Ladeside from all over the World; yes all over the WORLD and I had a chance to see some of those pieces. I am so GRATEFUL to Morty, Patty and Mike for giving me back something so special to me, and now the tail no longer wears a ribbon!

Sent request for estimate which to which I received a prompt reply. Sent piece in for repair along with a check for deposit of 1/2 the cost and was given an estimated completion of up to 60 days. The piece was repaired in half that time (approx. 30 days). Looks as if it were never broken!

Lakeside Pottery was a true find. I had a Royal Crown Copenhagen porcelain figurine that had been in my family for generations which I had inherited. Over the years there was deterioration. I was anxious to locate someone who had the experience and talent to do this repair...and so I did... I had only heard good things about Angie"s List and decided to give it a try....My lovely figurine was repaired to perfection... Elizabeth Meyerson Rye Brook, N.Y

The service was great overall! They gave us less expensive alternatives and were good to work with. The creamer looks better than it did before we broke it!

I have a life size ceramic poodle that had broken in numerous places over the many years it has been in my house. Over the years when it broke my Dad would glue it. As it aged, the glue changed color to different shades of brown. In a recent move it broke again and this time I realized I needed a professional to repair it. I spoke with Morty at Lakeside Pottery and he said he'd have to see the piece. We made a date and I brought it to him. He examined it like a doctor would and said he would have to dissolve the glue first, then repair it and then re glaze it where necessary. He gave me the option of it looking brand new or repair it where the breaks might still be visible but the pieces would all be back in place, and prices for both. The final outcome was amazing. It looks brand new and I feel lucky to have found Lakeside Pottery. I would highly recommend him as a nice person to deal with and an artistic professional.

The process was explained to me and I was provided with information regarding the level of difficulty involved in the repairs so as to keep my expectations in check. That said, the results of both repairs far surpassed my expectations. The Nippon was repaired in a way that even I, knowing where the break and chip had been, could not detect it without very close inspection. The color match was outstanding. The result of the repair on the plate was much cleaner than I ever expected. Not perfect but, again, if you didn't know it had been broken, you wouldn't notice anything amiss. Everything lined up, was even and the color match was incredible The amount of time it took to perform the repairs was very reasonable The work of a true master! I am grateful for the eye to detail and efforts made to go that extra mile! Worth every penny!!!! Thanks Morty!!

I brought in 2 ceramic pieces for repair.The first was a small Nippon dish with moriage on the exterior and a hand-painted scene on the interior. The break was fairly clean but it went straight through the area of moriage and the painting. There was a small chip on the edge The second item was a large ceramic plate that my cat had accidentally tipped on the floor and as a result it broke into many peices. I had glued it back together but it was a sorry excuse for a repair. I brought it in to see if anything could be done.
