How does a sterling silver teapot handle work?

What was the problem with the Sterling teapot?
The worst problem was that the sterling teapot fell and the lid was stepped on during the fire. In addition the side was also dented, and the tip of the spout was damaged. It took great skill and three weeks to repair this teapot. I like to work on such difficult repairs very slowly as it can be very challenging to fix a lid that is stepped on.
