One of our Jenaer Mikado pots got knocked off of the bar and onto the counter a few months ago. It stayed intact by some miracle except for chipping the very end of the spout off (the part that would keep it from dripping). We didn't even realize that the chip had happened until we were getting ready to use it the next day.
I have other pots that I'm using and there is a moratorium on buying new pots until after we move.
chipped teapot
Is it a clean clear break___no signs of additional cracks near the break? I would take super fine emery cloth and smooth the edge. Nothing cuts you like glass!!!!
Then fill the pot with boiling water several times and pour. Then check the broken edge. If there are no signs of additional cracking I'd go for it. After all, it's a Jenaer.
This is why I always place a little piece of plastic tubing (often comes on pots when purchased) over the spout end when not in use. You chip a great pot once and the bother is worth the effort.
I have used the fine emory cloth on the bottom of porcelain which I thought was a little too rough with success.
