About one month ago Oprah Winfrey Had a show in which this very thing was mentioned, a wonderful teapot broken,which had many memories attached. There is a place where the pieces can be sent & examined. They can put things back together which seem impossible, in this particular case it truly was impossible,so the company made a picture frame.The lady was delighted with the end product. If you contact Oprah"s show you might be able to get the address.Good Luck. Slainte
