BellaCapricorn81 asked:

I have purchased a ceramic teapot and have found that it leaks about 1cm above the base. It appears the base and then the rest of the teapot were joined however approx. half a side is not sealed properly? It seaps a very small amount of liquid. It looks almost like a crack but I can see the join all the way around. Is there a way to re-glaze or anything I can do to patch it up? The outside is a matte paint/glaze and the inside is a high gloss glaze. Sorry, I have no idea about ceramics so not sure what, if anything can be done?
