Antique restorers of the OT - I need some advice
Posted on 3/1/20 at 9:44 am

Even thought it’s in my name, I am not an antique restorer, just a flipper.
I picked up this 1936-39 Roseville vase yesterday for $50. It is a $450 vase if the good condition. The thing about this one, it has some kind of gold overspray on it. What can I use to remove the overspray without hurting the glaze, changing it from a $100 vase, back into a $450 vase? I tried a magic eraser, didn’t do anything.

Check with someone who does that for a living. Expense vs bottom line. Simple math.

I’m no expert but I’d guess if you can ID the spray better it’d help your odds.

You always hating. I am weird because I have a hobby that makes me $1000’s every year?
I spent $170 yesterday, could possibly make about $1500 from my purchases from garage sales yesterday.

I'm just giving you a hard time. Antiquing actually seems like an interesting hobby. But that doesn't negate my previous statement.

Try acetone (nail polish remover) in a small, inconspicuous spot to see if it will work. Apply and rub with q-tip. Has worked for me in the past on similar issues.

So you do something that makes you thousands of dollars every year but you have no idea how to do it. Got it.

Post on home and garden board. Might get better ideas there. I would be scared to do it myself and ruin the value. Take it to an antique store and ask someone there.

I’d try mineral spirits in a small spot before you go the acetone route. I would think MS would take it off without harming the glaze; acetone, I’m not so sure...

Hard to get rid of overspray. Had a job with this funky looking 20’ long corian cap going around a decorative railing. Assholes sprayed another coat months later on the railing, and it got over spray all over the cap. Corian is a tough material, and my vendor buffed the frick out of it and could only get so much out. With something this fragile, you may want to just leave it alone. Maybe someone who specializes in this type of work can remove it? But most likely they will never be able to get rid of everything.

acetone should get the gold off. The best deal dollar tree has next to ibuprofen.

Try Sherwin Williams M1 brush and roller cleaner.

You sure that's overspray? Kinda looks like sun related bleaching.

Essential oils.

It’s paint, but now that I’ve taken a much closer look, it may be under the glaze, I cannot tell. So either it’s intentional, factory error, or it is overspray. It’s only on one side, that’s why I think it’s overspray, but could be overspray before it was glazed, but I can’t see a company like Roseville releasing a factory defected vase.

If Roseville is still in business, contact them

Because he asked a question about restoring an antique?
