Non-toxic glue to repair lid/top of a ceramic teapot?
This is for a loose tea pot that uses the lid to retain heat/vapor as the loose tea steeps. I am concerned about toxins from a glue that I might use, to glue the broken lid back together. Since it'll be subjected to hot water vapor, I need something that won't carry harmful chemicals back to the tea/water... does such a thing exist?
Don't use cyanoacrylate glue. The upper rated operating temperature for most cyanoacrylates is 180 degrees F, which is below the boiling temperature of water. Here is a data sheet for a typical formulation, on which you can see the temperature limitation:

I would use an epoxy glue, which has a higher temperature rating than cyanoacrylates. When you glue the teapot back together, clean off the excess with vinegar or acetone before the epoxy has set. Press the pieces tightly back together to minimize the thickness of the bond line for maximum strength and minimum exposure to the hot water vapor. You won't have any problem with harmful chemicals after the epoxy has cured.
The other possibility I was looking into is dental cement, for which there are several varieties. However, I've been unable to find any information on high temperature performance, and you'd probably have to go to your dentist to get some. Use epoxy--you won't go wrong.
