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.
