Ivorylike® 5/8" diameter Teapot Insulator

Part # Price Purchase
IL.625DIA.INS $ 35.00

One piece imitation ivory insulator for silver holloware pot. 5/8" outside diameter measurement of the visible central ring. The shafts are proportional and purposefully left with enough extra material to benefit the craftsman doing the application work. These are sturdy insulators with no cracks,checks or other flaws. They are made here in our shop in Ohio from an imitation ivory that has the grain and color of ivory but is a modern polymer. The visible ring is polished.

If you are an end customer with a pot needing new insulators you will need to locate a silversmith who can replace the old insulators with our new one's. Most silversmiths are skilled in this work and will have little trouble in fitting our insulators to a tea or coffee pot. Oftentimes these are purchased and then filed into the more common oval shape. This material files, sands and polishes utilizing the same tools as if these were real ivory or horn.

See our "Material Working Tips " page for info on how to work bone and ivory. Follow those instructions as this material is worked the same as if it were ivory.
