<p>[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 2759, member: 56"]I think the damage is going to beat the heck out of the value - unless it's a really unusual piece. People do like staple repairs (me too), some people apparently collect such pieces, but it doesn't change the fact that the item is cracked. Even if the lid has been stabilized the pot looks unusable. You are looking at a decoration rather than a teapot. Hope I'm wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>I currently have a platter with a nice staple repair.

If I could find someone who did staple repairs, that's the way I would want to go. For some pieces it seems the right thing to do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
