Broken china

Thread Starter 
I had a friend over for dinner and managed to break two of my antique japanese plates. I dropped a cup on them while they were stacked and the corners chipped off. Both plates lost two pieces but the break is clean and the four broken off pieces are retrieved, no crushing. If I place the pieces back the break is practically seamless. How do I fix this? The plates have emotional value for me so giving them up is not an alternative. I would prefer if a professional were to repair them but I have no idea where to go.

Östasiatiska Museet? They will point you in the right direction. Also, try Björn Gremner at Antik West in Göteborg. I don't know about anyone better for Oriental porcelain in Sweden. Very nice website, too.
