以前有一位朋友說，國內就業最好的環境，一曰深圳，二曰上海。上海就不用說了，那一直是人精聚集的地方，深圳則是靠近香港，得地利之便。

2021年5月27日的深圳日報上，就有一篇文章，與眾不同，是欣賞殘瓷的（Enjoy the beauty of imperfection）。並附有兩張圖片。

• Skilled craftsmen would first drill tiny holes into broken household wares on either side of a crack, before bending metal staples to hold the pieces together. Expert craftsmen in the past would drill through the glazed surface using a hand-operated drilling wheel with a diamond tip. The process requires great precision and control, given the fragility of the porcelain. Though the technique may sound rudimentary, it is undoubtedly effective.Public interest in this craft suddenly spiked in 2012 after the airing of a documentary on the craft on China Central TV. The program features a modern craftsman named Wang Zhenhai who hails from the fifth generation of a family of craftsmen who served in Beijing's Palace Museum. Now, craftspersons use a fine machinery drill that revolves up to 50,000 times per minute to accurately drill holes. They may at times carve patterns on the repaired items to make the patchwork more aesthetic.

其實鋸瓷的技術，在北宋之前就已經有記載了。張澤瑞的清明上河圖上，就畫有一個鋸瓷匠人：

到了明清，燈草畫上也多有反映：

有了金剛鑽，才攬瓷器活，鋸瓷的技術，關鍵還是那金剛鑽，其餘的，不過是熟能生巧而已。所以不僅是大國的工匠，日本和歐洲的手藝人，也都可以鋸瓷了。

說起日本，瓷器金繕技術則算是一絕，並後來居上，深得人心。

所以歐美的博物館裡，以金繕技術修復的瓷器，並不比鋸瓷的數量少，而且還備受青睞。

考古學上的殘器復原技術，基本就是金繕技術的再應用。

再說歐洲，除了鋸瓷和金繕技術之外，另闢蹊徑，發明了瓷器再造技術。缺蓋缺把手的瓷器，繼續可用。

並且登峰造極，廢物利用，藝術再加工，中西合璧，成為宮廷裝飾藝術中的主流。
