Broke the top to a favorite teapot? Lost the lid to a sugar bowl? Don't discount your topless pieces - bring them out and find new uses for holiday entertaining.
Without a top, but still a lovely piece - this teapot makes a stunning vase now.
Highlight the pretty features of a piece and no one will notice the flaws. Grouping this pot with with a brass tray and other gold items creates a cohesive display that really shines.
The lid to this pewter sugar bowl has lost its way - but now I can use it as a candlestick.
To stabilize candle - fill your sugar bowl with dry beans or rice.
