I don’t think pottery can be repaired in a way that restores function. There are no epoxies or glues that can repair it and leave it food safe and able to store hot liquids for long periods. It’s just broken now.

    was gonna say kintsugi may technically fit the bill but idk how accessible that really is/how functional the final product is for hot stuff. the wiki page on it does show a tea kettle with the spout repaired so maybe it could work?

    e: nooo i can’t read it’s a “wine ewer” whatever the christ that is

        i’m a fan of the derived term “ewerer”

        which is someone who provides ewer services

        the existence of wine ewers suggests an assortment of ewers for putting sheep into various other fluids, but is the ewer really going to be that different? i mean, i’m out of my depth here. i’m completely unfamiliar with the art and craft of eweing. but i have to imagine that a wine ewer can function as a water ewer in a pinch, eh?

        yeah that makes sense. it was just the only thing that came to mind. either way i’m sorry you lost something that mattered to you.
