6" Handmade Artisan Cane Handle Replacement for Teapot

My teapot is pottery, so the thickness of the side of hole that the handle feeds through was too much for this very thin handle. Would be better served for smaller, lighter weight pot w/thin diameter ring (If that makes sense) to feed through. I tried to make it work and it immediately broke (I should have known it would and shouldn't have tried to force it but was hoping the cane was more flexible and I could re-shape a little). I would have sent back, but was hurriedly preparing to host a neighborhood party and it got swept up into the trash during the frantic 12th hour clean up before party started. In short, this could work well for a small teapot. But not for mine!

The thin, light weight material is out of proportion for use on hand thrown stoneware. When I complained to the seller there was no response.

While this handle fit our teapot we decided not to risk using it. It is too flimsy to be of use. We didn’t want to risk it breaking and losing our artisan made Japanese teapot.

Making ceramic teapots are an artful expression in the Japanese culture. Here in So. Cal. finding a local vendor with outstanding cane handle is difficult enough. Now I have a source√

Exactly what I wanted. My wife and I have had a Asian style teapot for years without a pot. I bought this and had some trouble at first getting it on the pot. We soaked it in hot water and it bend easier for an exact fit. It dried up and fit perfectly.
