Teapot replacement lid appreciation

This is my teapot. It’s about 1.5L and has a forward handle for the wrist crushing weight of it. It’s a monster, made in America. Sadly I dropped the lid a year ago, and have been using a bowl to cover it, which clatters and makes a hell of a noise from the steam.

Is there a better way? Anywhere that sells lids? Failing that, share your ersatz teapot lids.

See if you have a local pottery near you that could make a new lid to fit.

This seems like a very middle class response. Pottery? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one. Is that something that exists in the Cotswolds?

I’m a big fan of middle class ideals. Just have a look on Google maps, there’s more around than you might expect.

It would probably look nice with a cork lid if you’re willing to make one

Have you tried contacting the manufacturer? They might be able to sell you a replacement or at least point you in the right direction.

Thanks, it’s totally unmarked and made in another country or I’d definitely try. I did have a decade old Stanley thermos cap go bad and they replaced the whole thing. Really good to see that mindset in manufacturing.

I broke the lid from my wedding gift teapot (20+ years old). Denby didn’t do the exact model any more, but gave me a good enough replacement, free!

Won’t help your predicament, but just wanted to shout out denby for awesome customer service!

I’ll remember the name if this one breaks. Thanks!
